But we can make ourselves more accident-prone.\" As an authentic American Zen takes shape, enlightenment continues to be misunderstood as a project to be completed, a goal to be achieved, or a prize to be awarded. Tim Burkett's new book unhooks enlightenment from the hot air balloon of ego and brings it back down to earth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on stories of his first teacher, the Zen master Shunryu Suzuki (author of \u003ci\u003eZen Mind, Beginner's Mind\u003c\/i\u003e), and Burkett's decades of practice and teaching, he reveals how to live in the world with a deep joy that comes from embracing the work and play of this very moment. With the wisdom and humor of a seasoned practitioner familiar with all manner of eccentric fixations and silly dead-ends, he offers views and practices we can use to support the paradoxical process of letting enlightenment happen on its own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Burkett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1645471357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781645471356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shambhala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/03\/2023","brand":"Tim Burkett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44080695640319,"sku":"9781645471356","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_82c8d2ae-aec9-40c9-a16b-6da2dde2fda6.jpg?v=1685488287","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/enlightenment-is-an-accident-tim-burkett-9781645471356","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
