"Gradually we begin to realize there is a Something. That Something was there before we were born, before our present formation, and it will still be there after oiur transformation. It is constantly active. We think that that Something is somewhere else but the fact is, that Something of beginningless beginnings and endless ends, boundless, mysterious, is centered here in ourselves." This book is about the Something, our Buddha Nature, the ultimate Reality. What is this essence of life? How show more can we experience it? Why is it so important to do this? What effect will this experience have in our daily lives? For these Points of Departure, we can enter and continue the study and practice of Zen with a firm step. Eido Tai Shimano (嶋野 栄道) (b. 1932) is a Rinzai Zen Buddhist roshi. He was the founding abbot of the New York Zendo Shobo-Ji in Manhattan and Dai Bosatsu Zendo Kongo-Ji monastery in the Catskill mountains of New York. show less
A book of teisho--an inspirational Zen talk or lecture--given by a master to pass on the teachings of Buddha. Known for his vivid, emotional sermons, Roshi gives sound, practical advice on how to gain a stronger hold on life and develop a compassionate understanding of the nature of things in the universe.

> Pour Houei-Neng, « l'éveil est la réalisation immédiate de la non pensée, le sans souvenir, le sans attachement. » Houang-Po en parle comme d'une « clarté merveilleuse et pleine de félicité, où la réalisation profonde et spontanée plonge directement. » Lin Tsi appelle l'arbre de l'éveil, l'arrêt de toute pensée, et l'arbre de l'ignorance l'incapacité à les arrêter. Quant à Dôgen, il en exprime l'essentiel quand il écrit : « La vérité de la nature-bouddha c'est le show more vide éclatant de lumière. » S'il fallait résumer la mystique bouddhiste en deux mots, nul doute que ceux-ci seraient: l'éveil à la lumière.
—Alain Delaye, Sagesses sans frontières, p.531
