Michaelson introduces us to maverick brain hackers, postmodern Buddhist monks, and cutting-edge neuroscientists and shares his own stories of months-long silent retreats, powerful mystical experiences, and many pitfalls along the way.

“Lo Zen è un’esperienza improvvisa: non c’è preparazione, non ci sono prove, non c’è una disciplina, non c’è un sentiero” chiarisce Osho, e aggiunge: “All’improvviso apri gli occhi: come se un lampo ti avesse colpito, interrompendo il sonno di milioni di anni. In quell risveglio, conosci il mistero dell’esistenza.” A quella folgorante esperienza Osho avvicina in queste tredici immersioni, sollecitando il momento inevitabile che nella vita quotidiana si ha la tendenza a ignorare.

Marking a significant departure from Noah Cicero's fictional and poetic works, Blood-Soaked Buddha/Hard Earth Pascal is a lucid philosophical treatise. Rather than entertain dogma, Cicero approaches a discussion of Buddhism from the refreshing perspective of the everyman, providing a profound spiritual analysis as well as a sharp critique of capitalism. There are even some pretty good ghost stories.

Howard Fast began to formally practice Zen meditation after turning away from communism in 1956. The Art of Zen Meditation, originally published by the antiwar political collective Peace Press, in 1977, is the fruit of Fast’s study: a brief and instructive history of Zen Buddhism and its tenets, written with a simplicity that is emblematic of the philosophy itself. Fast’s study of Zen also inspired his popular Masao Masuto mystery series about a Zen Buddhist detective in Beverly Hills.

仏教と儒教、
人生にどう活かすか

禅の六祖・慧能（えのう）が懇々と教えている大事な要点は、佛というものは決して人間を超越した存在ではない、ということである。信仰者は佛を超越的存在に持ってゆきたがるが、佛というものは、自身、吾、心、衆生を離れては決して存在しない。
一方、儒教は、どこまでも人間と現実に徹して、情熱をもってこれを改めてゆこうとするもので、必ずしもその成功を求めない。良心、真理、道を旨とし、実践に徹してゆこうとするのがその真面目である。
儒教、道教、佛教は違うというけれども、世間一般に言うような差異ではない。儒教でも、「命（めい）に従う」とか「運を啓（ひら）く」というような問題になれば、浄土門の佛にすがるというのと同工異曲である。だから現れる形は違っても、少し奥へ入れば真理は一つ。諸教は帰するところみな同じである。
