{"product_id":"nirvana-my-way-bengt-erik-eriksson-9781980210399","title":"Nirvana My Way: Zen Buddhism - Shortcut to Everyday Life and Blessed Ignorance","description":"The following is a layman s, an ordinary Zen traveler's, view of Zen Buddhism. The book is a work in development based mainly on own experiences and all the books that are listed in the bibliography. For me the following books have in particular been important: Paul Reps Zen Flesh, Zen Bones, Katsuki Sekidas Two Zen Classics, Mumonkan \u0026amp; Hekiganroku and Zen Training, and Stephen Hodge s Zen Master Class.The book is, of course, no textbook on Zen, but rather a presentation of highlights and reflections that I find important and I think, despite being moved out of context, can be of importance for others.For me, Zen in particular has meant that I (most of the time): * know and understand that I am a part of something much larger and whole, * am not looking for any specific divinities but am seeing the extraordinary in everyone and everything in the ordinary life and with my ordinary mind, * realize that dichotomizing, discriminating and constant assessment does not work.And please remember Lao Tzu's words, here in A. F. Price s interpretation: \"The journey of a thousand miles starts from beneath one's feet.\"And also what John Daido Loori writes: \"Just decide to do it. Not tomorrow - tomorrow always remain tomorrow. Do it now. Commit yourself now. Once you have committed yourself to doing it, it is done. The rest is only a matter of time.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bengt Erik Eriksson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 198021039X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781980210399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.37d","brand":"Bengt Erik Eriksson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44057503105279,"sku":"9781980210399","price":9.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8f288c0c-2fd2-4213-9488-0f163311f865.jpg?v=1685047365","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nirvana-my-way-bengt-erik-eriksson-9781980210399","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
