Reb Anderson first introduces us to the fundamental ideas of Zen Buddhist practice. Who was Shakyamuni Buddha and what was his central teaching? What does it mean to be a bodhisattva and take the bodhisattva vow? Why should we confess and acknowledge our ancient twisted karma? What is the significance of taking refuge in Buddha, dharma, and sangha? The author explores the ten basic precepts, including not killing, not stealing, not lying, not misusing sexuality, and not using intoxicants. A gifted storyteller, Anderson takes us to the heart of situations, where moral judgments are not easy and we do not have all the answers. With wisdom and compassion, he teaches us how to confront the emotional and ethical turmoil of our lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tenshin Reb Anderson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1930485018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781930485013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rodmell Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Tenshin Reb Anderson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991198597375,"sku":"9781930485013","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52a51afa-d808-4200-90fa-7d2f094c3eda.jpg?v=1683309006","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/being-upright-reb-anderson-9781930485013","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
