A practical guide to daily Chan Practice Part two ofthis book is like something you read daily by flipping to any page. Eachteaching is printed on a single page. What I enjoyed about this book isits clarity and depth--Master Sheng-yen, the author, have the ability toput profound insights of Buddhism and Chan into plain language. His wordscome from over 50 years of Chan practice as a monk. You can sense thesource of his clarity, which comes not from repeating other people's wordsbut, from his own experience. His writings are not what you may call"meating," or well-packaged by lofty ideas and fancy spiritualjargon. They are rather direct and plain; there is a subdued andseriousness, and yet a kind of warm, light, and humorous tone to his voice.To real Dharma practitioners confronted with internal and externalhindrences on their own Paths or to sincere individuals who want to begintheir practice, they will surely find clear answers to their doubts andquestions. A "clear-eyed" person will quickly spot out MasterSheng-yen's teaching as extremely beneficial. However, to people who areonly "readers" of Buddhism and Chan, or is searching forsomething that "meets" their idiosyncratic views and styles, theymay be turned off by Master Sheng-yen's uncompromising style to present, tous in the West, the authentic Dharma. I highly recommend Dharma Drum byMaster Sheng-yen, and other books by him, to any sincere individual ontheir way to the Path of self-awakening. ... Read more |

25. The Origins of Buddhist Monastic Codes in China: An Annotated Translation and Study of the Chanyuan Qinggui (Classics in East Asian Buddhism) by Yifa, Zongze | |

Editorial Review Product Description Part One consists of Yifa's overview of the development of monastic regulations in Chinese Buddhist history, a biography of the text's author, and an analysis of the social and cultural context of premodern Chinese Buddhist monasticism. Of particular importance are the interconnections made between Chan traditions and the dual heritages of Chinese culture and Indian Buddhist Vinaya. Although much of the text's source material is traced directly to the Vinayas and the works of the Vinaya advocate Daoan (312-385) and the Lu master Daoxuan (596-667), the Chanyuan qinggui includes elements foreign to the original Vinaya texts --- elements incorporated from Chinese governmental policies and traditional Chinese etiquette. Following the translator's overview is a complete translation of the text, extensively annotated. Scholars of East Asian Buddhism and those seeking information on Buddhist institutional norms, as well as Buddhist practitioners, will find this work an essential source. |

Everything you wanted to know about Chan meditation .. and more
The Ultimate Ch'an Overview?
Compendium of Chinese Chan Buddhist Practice! This book stands out as a rare jewel in the mountain of books on Buddhism. For example, master Sheng-yen's presentation of meditation techniques from "five points of stilling the mind" (shamata) and contemplative meditation (vipashyana) to gong'an and silent illumination is the best that I have ever read. This book is for the serious practitioner of Chan or Buddhism in general. Most of the books out there present Buddhism as a "packaged product." For example, most books on Zen or Chan presents it as some isolated, idealized spiritual practice free from religiosity (rituals, faith, and so on), as if it can be adapted to anything. Most times these books are watered down. Hoofprint of the Ox presents Buddhism as it is, without being apologetic or "fundamentalist." The book covers issue of: buddhist doctrine (clarifying the misconception of buddhist emptiness, selflessness, correct views, etc), path (Chan and classical path: precepts, different types of meditation methods, etc.), and various levels and types of experience (experiences of enlightenment and delusion). Most importantly, master Sheng-yen also delineates what it means to be a Chan master. This is a revealing chapter of the book. It dispels many romantic ideas we may have as a practitioner in the West. Enjoy the book! ... Read more |

Perhaps, just rhetoric!
wish I could get my money back
A brilliant deconstruction, this book reshapes Zen studies.
This book is riddled with arbitrary misinterpretations. |
