Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki - Manual of Zen Buddhism.pdf
An anthology of texts relating to Zen.
I. Gathas and Prayers
II. The Dharanis
III. The Sutras
IV. From the Chinese Zen Masters
V. From the Japanese Zen Masters
VI. The Buddhist Statues and Pictures in a Zen Monastary
Here are the famous sutras, or sermons, of the Buddha; the gathas, or hymns; the intriguing philosophical puzzles known as koan; and the dharanis, or invocations to expel evil spirits. Included also are the recorded conversations of the great Buddhist monks — intimate dialogues on subjects of momentous importance. In addition to the written selections, all of them translated by Dr. Suzuki, there are reproductions of many Buddhist drawings and paintings.
We are all looking for ways to have more clarity in our lives, I have found Zen Buddhism to help me with that. It may come as a surprise to some of you, but some of the most famous people around the world use Zen (Steve Jobs was a Zen Buddist).
Zen Buddist is NOT a religion, but more like a way to look at the "Now" and grasp the true reality of the moment. Very thought-provoking.
Reps are always appreciated.
Cheers,
G.S.
