Zen Wisdom : Knowing and Doing - Thryft

Enlightenment beyond words and symbols, for those seeking inner peace.

Zen Wisdom by Sheng-yen is a must-read for anyone seeking inner peace and enlightenment. The book guides readers through the difficult waters of contradiction and helps them leave behind all concepts in order to experience enlightenment for themselves. The most unique and distinctive feature of the book is its emphasis on the fact that the enlightened state of Chan cannot be understood through deductive reasoning, but rather through personal experience. This book is highly recommended for those looking to deepen their spiritual practices and awaken their inner wisdom.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Master Sheng-yen combines wisdom gained from years of study and practice with knowledge of the contemporary world to show how Chan and Buddha’s teachings are still relevant today. Beginners, as well as those already on the path, will find clear and useful guidance as the revered teacher answers questions from his students on the simple yet elusive principles of Chan (Zen) practice.
