This is the non-dual affirmation that one is already Buddha as opposed to the doctrinal, dualistic faith that one can become Buddha. The essence of the presentation is that patriarchal faith forms the basis for sudden enlightenment in Zen meditation. For the practitioner, this book establishes the Zen method of mind-cultivation on a higher level by introducing a new understanding of awakening right faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded is extensive material on the history of faith in Buddhism with the main attention devoted to Ch'an (Zen) and Hua-yen. There are also substantial discussions of Buddhist antecedents to these schools and of the Pure Land School.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the first book in English to examine the central role of faith in Mahayana Buddhism. The author's approach develops from his personal experiences as a son (Zen) monk of the Chogye order, which was heavily influenced by the integration of meditation and scriptural study established by Chinul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sung Bae Park\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0873956745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780873956741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/1983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Sung Bae Park","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48087030530303,"sku":"9780873956741","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c1d13dd8-ef01-4669-a420-a96c3480040c.jpg?v=1769097899","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/buddhist-faith-and-sudden-enlightenment-sung-bae-park-9780873956741","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
