Synopsis:
The sequel to Hardcore Zen, in which the author tackles one of the great works of Zen literature, the Shobogenzo by Zen master Dogen. Illuminating Dogen's enigmatic teachings in plain, modern language, intertwined with sharp philosophical musings on meditation, death, truth, sex, anger, evil, enlightenment, and happiness with an exploration of the power and pain of the punk rock ethos, Warner attempts to uncover the real heart of Zen with a sharp smack of truth. Warner melds the anti-authoritarianism of punk with that of Zen - for those drawn to Buddhiost teachings but scared off by their perceived stiff austerity.
"Brad Warner resuscitates the words of Dogen Zenji in playful, provocative prose. Fresh, edgy, and insightful." Stephen Batchelor.
"Zen is a philosophy you do rather than read about, so it makes sense that Sit Down and Shut Up reads more like an adventure than a tome. Brad Warner's book is rebellious and real." Helen Jupiter. |
