{"product_id":"9780956299901","title":"To Meet The Real Dragon","description":"Buddhist masters of the past have explained the relationship between Buddhist theory and the Truth by way of a simple metaphor. The Truth, they say, is like the distant moon. Ideas, theories, and explanations are merely fingers pointing at that far-away goal. They are not, and can never be, the moon itself. So this book is one such finger, a finger pointing at the moon, but the moon itself can be touched by you alone...\u003cp\u003eThe Buddhism which emerges from To Meet the Real Dragon is Buddhism for real people: ordinary human beings with ordinary human problems. It is humanistic Zen--Zen for human beings. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere are a few of the topics covered by this very readable book: What is Religion, Meeting a True Master, Master Dogen, Science and Buddhism, Idealism and Materialism, Gautama Buddha, The Four Noble Truths, The Transmission of the Truth, Cause and Effect, Not Doing Wrong, Action: The Center of Buddhism, Zazen, The Four Philosophies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Rocca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47707244003568,"sku":"9780956299901","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780956299901_p0.jpg?v=1763865570","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780956299901","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
