No beginning, no end : the intimate heart of Zen
Kwong, Jakusho
No beginning, no end : the intimate heart of Zen / Jakusho Kwong ; edited by Peter Levitt - 1st ed. - New York : Harmony Books , c2003. - 255 p. ; 20 cm.
Master Jakusho Kwong-roshi shows us how to treasure the ordinary activities of our daily lives through an understanding of simple Buddhist practices and ideas. The author´s spontaneous, poetic, and pragmatic teachings - so reminiscent of his spiritual predecessor Shunryu Suzuki (Zen Mind,Beginner´s Mind) - transport us on an exciting journey into the very heart of Zen and its meaningful traditions. Because Kwong-roshi can transmit the most intimate thing in the most accessible way, we learn how to ignite our own vitality, wisdom, and compassion and awaken a feeling of intimacy with the world. It is like having a conversation with our deepest and wisest self. Jakusho Kwong-roshi was originally inspired to study Zen because of zenga, the ancient art of Zen calligraphy. Throughout this book he combines examples of his unique style with less well-known stories from the Zen tradition, personal anecdotes-including moving and humorous stories of his training with Suzuki-roshi-and his own lucid and inspiring teachings to draw all readers into this intimate expression of the enlightening world of Zen: the world of who we are.
