Meditation is "the gateway to repose and joy." It is the heart of our Buddhist practice. Through meditation we open to our True Nature, the Unborn Buddha Nature and to the source of our suffering. This introduction to Serene Reflection (Soto Zen) meditation is presented in a simple, practical and thorough manner with articles on the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of this type of meditation. The Buddha taught that there is suffering or unsatisfactoriness and that there is a way to find the cessation of or liberation from suffering. Articles include teachings on how to bring the Buddha's Teaching into all aspects of our lives and how we can live in harmony with ourselves and all living beings. The articles in this book were written by male and female Buddhist monks and lay trainees within the Order of Buddhist Contemplatives.

Serene Reflection Meditation

Late in December of 1961, Peggy Kennett, British organist and medieval -music scholar, boarded a steamer headed for the Far East. Eight years later she returned to the West as one of the first Western women ever to be recognized as a Zen Master. These are her words, as transcribed from some of the more than one thousand tapes recorded of the lectures she gave until her death in 1996. In this first volume, Rev. Master Jiyu-Kennett speaks of the basic aspects of Soto Zen in her characteristic down-to-earth, practical, and good-humored way. For those who did not have the opportunity to meet her, this book gives some of the flavor of what it was like to study with this remarkable woman and Buddhist teacher. For those who did, it will add a new richness to their appreciation of her teaching.

In 1976 Rev. Master Jiu-Kennett was very ill and was told she had only a few months to live. In the face of imminent death, she went deeply into meditation to reflect on her life in preparation for death. As a result, she had a deep religious experience over several months and went on to live another twenty years doing her Buddhist practice and helping others to do the same. This book is the diary of those months.
