{"product_id":"to-meet-the-real-dragon-gudo-nishijima-9780956299901","title":"To Meet the Real Dragon","description":"Buddhist masters of the past have explained the relationship between Buddhist theory and the Truth by way of a simple metaphor. The Truth, they say, is like the distant moon. Ideas, theories, and explanations are merely fingers pointing at that far-away goal. They are not, and can never be, the moon itself. So this book is one such finger, a finger pointing at the moon, but the moon itself can be touched by you alone... The Buddhism which emerges from To Meet the Real Dragon is Buddhism for real people: ordinary human beings with ordinary human problems. It is humanistic Zen--Zen for human beings. Here are a few of the topics covered by this very readable book: What is Religion, Meeting a True Master, Master Dogen, Science and Buddhism, Idealism and Materialism, Gautama Buddha, The Four Noble Truths, The Transmission of the Truth, Cause and Effect, Not Doing Wrong, Action: The Center of Buddhism, Zazen, The Four Philosophies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gudo Nishijima\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0956299903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780956299901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dogen Sangha Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/03\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.52d","brand":"Gudo Nishijima","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994179338495,"sku":"9780956299901","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_104dd028-178e-4acf-bab9-53712bb644e9.jpg?v=1683328598","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/to-meet-the-real-dragon-gudo-nishijima-9780956299901","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
