{"product_id":"9781462901524","title":"Zen Way","description":"\u003cb\u003eWritten by one of today's most distinguished teachers, this Zen book provides an authoritative introduction to Zen training from the perspective of someone who has gone through it.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author begins by setting out the basic Buddhist teaching based on the example of Buddha and then traces the fundamentals of the Zen way through a detail account of workings of a contemporary Zen monastery. She draws on her own experience of twelve year's study in a Rinzai monastery to present the pattern of its life: the harsh introduction that the novice endures, the daily routine of chanting, work and meditation, the seasonal festivals, retreats and rituals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough all this, Myokyo-ni shows that the Zen way leads to a genuine insight into the Buddhist teachings and provides what is necessary for the development of such insight to occur. Lastly, she demonstrates that this insight is not merely a mental exercise but a genuine restructuring and making whole.","brand":"Tuttle Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47168697729264,"sku":"9781462901524","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781462901524_p0.jpg?v=1763679519","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781462901524","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
