Beschreibung
Living Zen is that rare achievement, both a survey of the rich history of Zen Buddhism and a guide to the practice of this most demanding and effortless art of being. The distinguished Belgian scholar Robert Linssen offers a sage corrective to the idea that the Zen way is available only to those prepared to sit life out under the Bodhi-Tree. Gently but insistently he undermines this typically Western view; inviting and enabling us, as Christmas Humphreys puts it in his preface, to take "e;the leap from thought to No-thought, from the ultimate duality of Illusion/Reality to a burst of laughter and a cup of tea."e;"e;Linssen's aim throughout this penetrating book is to encourage his readers to outgrow the cocoon of self-centered thought and feeling. The core of the book lies in its lucid analysis...and in the meaning which it gives to the true attention, focused undesirously in the immediate present, which can dissolve the endless distractions of the fear-conditioned ego."e;-The Times Literary Supplement"e;Robert Linssen finally gives a sensible explanation of what Zen is all about."e;-Saturday Review"e;An excellent study."e;-San Francisco Chronicle
