{"product_id":"9783836460002","title":"The Truth As Non-Foundational According To Zen Buddhism","description":"This book features a discussion of truth as non-foundational through the perspective of Zen Buddhism. Zen Buddhism in particular criticizes foundational truth as it interprets the doctrine of dependent co-arising, the Buddha's core teaching, in a radically non-dualistic way. In addressing the truth as non-foundational according to Zen, I will introduce the doctrine of dependent co-arising and emptiness, discuss the way in which the concept of emptiness lead to the split between the gradual and sudden schools of Zen, with a focus on the function of encounter dialogue as it evolved from the legitimization of the sudden tradition, and conclude by addressing the non-teleological aspects of Zen, pointing out that truth asserted as non-foundational maintains that truth is a ceaseless creative process.\u003cbr\u003eAs the tradition of Zen has recently become largely popularized, this book will offer the reader a historical background of the tradition, as well as provide those interested with an intellectual insight into the practice of Zen.","brand":"VDM AG Co. \u0026 KG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052091097328,"sku":"9783836460002","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783836460002_p0.jpg?v=1763687793","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783836460002","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
