Synopsis:
These days, when Zen has become a kind of shorthand for anything that is enigmatic or aesthetically spare, it is refreshing to be reminded that Zen is at heart a practice for waking up from the dream we inhabit - in order to free ourselves from the suffering the dream imposes on us. Elihu Genmyo Smith's eminently practical Zen teaching never loses sight of that central concern: Whether it takes the form of zazen meditation, koan work, or just eating your breakfast, the aim of Zen practice is always nothing other than intimacy with ouselves and everything around us.
"This is a text to digest and inhale, as you would the presence of someone facing you. Inspired by his long and intimate study with some of the greatest Zen teachers of our time, Genmyo comments skillfully on a range of Zen koans and teachings, bringing each, always, to his one insistent point: Zen practice is not at all difficult. It is allowing the awareness that we truly are." Zoketsu Norman Fischer.
"As I read Genmyo Elihu Smith's book, I heard in his voice echoes of the voices of his teachers, Soen Roshi, Maezumi Roshi, and Joko Beck. And yet, Genmyo's voice is his own, a voice imbued with confidence about the unique benefits of practice and its relevance to the difficulties of ordinary life. Reading this book is like having a Zen teacher appear in your living room, warm, wise and intimate." Jan Chozen Bays. |
