 | Simple Guide to Zen Buddhism by Diana St. Ruth
The form of Buddhism most compatible with the Judeo-Christian tradition, Zen has attracted a vast following in the West and is still a significant influence on the culture and character of present-day Japan. Nevertheless, its tenets -- including the concepts of vast emptiness and satori-awakening -- are often difficult for the Western mind to grasp. In a series of easily understood `stepping stones , Diana and Richard St. Ruth gently introduce readers to the essential concepts of Buddhism, including the Buddha, Zen ways, the Zen monastery, chanting, vows, lay practitioners, enlightenment, pilgrimages, and more. Their book offers a rewarding appreciation of religion, its history, practices, and philosophy. AUTHOR: Diana St. Ruth
