Synopsis:
A translation of Sanzen Nyumon, the classic text on Rinzai Zen training by Omori Sogen, one of the foremost Zen teachers of the modern era.
Omori Roshi provides a comprehensive introduction to the goals and practice of zazen, the meditation practice at the foundation of Zen training. Students will find his discussion of the physical dimensions of zazen - including breathing, pain, posture, and drowsiness - as valuable as the discussion of the context in which Zen training takes on meaning. This is one of the few books to address many of the questions which naturally arise as training begins, ranging from how long they should sit at a time to how to maintain their concentration when not sitting. It concludes with Omori Roshi`s commentaries on two fundamental Zen texts: Hakuin`s Song of Zazen, and the traditional Ten Ox-Herding Pictures.
Having undergone rigorous training in Zen, swordsmanship, and calligraphy from an early age, Omori Sogen`s teaching was remarkable for its emphasis on both the martial vigour of the great Zen masters of the Samurai era, as well as the refinement and depth found in the best Zen calligraphers. |
