Zen Religion

Lo Zen è un'esperienza e come tale può solo essere vissuta, spiega Osho che aggiunge: "In pratica, loZen è inspiegabile, perché non è una filosofia, non è una dottrina. Si tratta di sperimentare la propriadimensione interiore, la propria soggettività. Non si tratta dunque di un'esperienza tangibile, oggettiva. Se fosse presente un oggetto all'esterno, sarebbe possibile descriverla, analizzarla, definirla. Per sua stessa natura è qualcosa di indefinibile; nulla che l'intelletto possa afferrare: Zen è unoscivolare fuori dalla mente e un entrare nel proprio essere".

芥川賞作家でもある著者の、禅的生活のエッセイ集。独特の視点で語られる「禅の世界」を味わってみませんか?


この本は、臨済宗妙心寺派福聚寺の副住職であり、芥川賞作家でもある玄侑和尚が雑誌・新聞等に掲載した短いエッセイをまとめたものです。

以前訪れた動物園の水槽で、ヌボーッと佇んでいたサンショウウオ。
その何をするでもないが、仄かな明るさを纏った彼(彼女?)の姿と、
「八風吹けど動ぜず」という禅の言葉が、和尚の中でリンクしたのです。
それ以来、和尚の中にはある種憧れのようなサンショウウオが一匹住み始めました。

もうひとつ禅の言葉で、「放下(ほうげ)」というものがあります。
一瞬ごとに「今」という一瞬が死に、新しく次の「今」という一瞬がやってくる。
悲しみや怒りの時間を捨て、新たに展開した笑顔の時間を人は生きるのです。

和尚は、「新しい一瞬一瞬を重ね塗りせず生きていくから、
いつまでたってもその色合いは鮮やかであり、明るい」と説きます。

自分だけのサンショウウオを飼いながら、人生をゆらり、どっしり、たまにはテキパキと、鼻歌でも歌いながら明るい人生を過ごしましょう。

Maya Noise is about the life and insights of a modern day mystic. In 1996, at the age of 33, John Dalton had a profound realization. He could have set himself up as a Guru, changed his name, started a commune, and developed a worldwide following. Instead, he did something more original. In the tradition of Autobiography of a Yogi, and with the authority of The Power of Now, Maya Noise is a refreshing addition to the canon of literature for those searching for the truth, and an unorthodox alternative for those interested in world peace.

Si le mot " zen " a pris place dans notre vocabulaire, son sens est très éloigné de la pratique d'une sagesse orientale qui se fonde sur une discipline stricte du corps et de l'esprit afin de voir clair dans sa propre nature. Zen signifie méditation. Originaire de l'Inde, l'école bouddhiste dhyana en sanscrit, samten en tibétain, thiên en vietnamien, chan en chinois, sôn en coréen devient le zen au Japon. Cette pratique prône la prise de conscience de soi en tant que Bouddha grâce à un enseignement.

Great Brahmas. Two of this realm’s more famous inhabitants are the Great Brahma, a deity whose delusion leads him to regard himself as the all-powerful, all-seeing supposedly creator of the universe (see Digha Nikaya 11), and Brahma Sahampati, who begs the Buddha to teach Dhamma to the world.

Viviamo alla continua ricerca della felicità, e nella corsa senza sosta per raggiungerla non ci accorgiamo delle straordinarie meraviglie di cui è già ricco il mondo attorno a noi. Ogni giorno, ogni ora, ogni istante la bellezza ci chiama, ma raramente ci poniamo in ascolto. Perché per avvertire la sua voce e poterle rispondere è necessaria una condizione divenuta rara: il silenzio.

"The Zen was standing by a rock, one paw resting on it, ears cocked forward, its stubby hind legs braced ready to launch it into flight." Because they were so likable and intelligent and adaptable - they were vastly dangerous!

Americans and others in the West have certain expectations and images that come to mind when the word Buddhist comes up. Most people have seen the Dalai Lama on the news or in magazines, and he has almost become synonymous with Buddhism in general. The truth is that by far, the majority of the world's Buddhists are not bald Asian men in orange robes. Buddhists look like you or me--just normal people who try to fit the ideas developed by Buddha into normal modern life.
