On Zen Practice II (The Zen Writing Series)

Chotan Roshi

Zen Center of Los Angeles

One of the few commentaries on Zen koans by an American Zen master. Twenty-one chapters centered on koans from classic collections, western literary sources, and modern encounters, the talks in this book take up different subjects such as intimacy, illness and healing, the perils of the spiritual path, among others. Together, these discourses show the importance and relevance of the Zen koan as a powerful tool of spiritual study not limited to intellectual comprehension.

Dharma Communications

How do we address the environmental challenges of this new century? This book is based on the premise that when we become intimate with the world we live in, we naturally care for it as part of ourselves. In this new commentary to Zen Master Dogen's Mountains and Rivers Sutra, American Zen master John Daido Loori uses photography, prose, and poetry to illuminate this classic text with a freshness, relevance, and urgency appropriate to the ecological and moral imperatives of our time.

The Way of Mountains and Rivers: Teachings on Zen and the Envirnoment

Newly reprinted by Dharma Communications Press. Heart of Being is the most comprehensive book available on the moral and ethical teachings of Zen Buddhism. A standard training guide for Zen students approaching jukai, the ceremony of formally taking the precepts as one's life, this book is a rich offering for a morally ailing planet. These teachings accent the relationship between practicing the Buddhist precepts and cultivating the enlightened mind. Daido Roshi explores how the precepts serve as a compass to navigate the difficult and often overwhelming dilemmas of our lives.
