He taught that Zen is not about achieving a goal, but about acting spontaneously from \"don't-know mind.\" It is from this \"before-thinking\" nature, he taught, that true compassion and the desire to serve others naturally arises. This collection of teaching stories, talks, and spontaneous dialogues with students offers readers a fresh and immediate encounter with one of the great Zen masters of the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hyon Gak, Zen Master Seung Sahn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1590303407\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590303405\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shambhala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/08\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.48w x 0.59d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2006 pg. 66","brand":"Hyon Gak","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989336948991,"sku":"9781590303405","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a48046df-fb21-408d-bd33-4b81423ff224.jpg?v=1683298942","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wanting-enlightenment-is-a-big-seung-sahn-9781590303405","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
