Work detailsThe Three Pillars of Zen: Teaching, Practice, and Enlightenment by Philip Kapleau Roshi (1965)
None. O książce: http://www.bodhidharma.isn.pl/trzyfilaryzen.htm ( )Among the very best on Zen and meditation: This unarguably authoritative book is absolutely convincing in its easily readable exposition of Zen BR> Buddhism, it's methods and goals. Practices of Japanese Zen masters, both modern and historic, are set forth as they were actually spoken to Zen classes in Japanese temples. It is easily the best book I have read on meditation generally or Zen specifically This is classic and worth of reading, but can be confusing if you haven't experienced rigorous zen training. Moved to the Rochester area & first learned about roshi Kapleau when I read his obit in the local paper. My brother picked up this older edition for me before it was reprinted, and also signed us up for a day-long meditation session at the Rochester Zen Center. This is by far the most useful book I've yet read about zen. I first read Roshi Philip Kapleau book on the summer of 1980. I feel it is still one of the most informative books wriiten on Zen Buddhism. I am sure it must be considered a classic by now. I find myself pulling this book off my shelf every few years and re-reading it. I feel that it is one of the few books written that introduce westerner's to the journey along the road of zen. no reviews | add a review
