O knihe
How and why did Chan arise in China as a unique expression of Chinese Buddhism? How and why did the Chan institution invent its characteristic lineage system and what is its significance? How has state sponsorship shaped the presentation of Chan and Zen throughout the Orient? Why is there a seeming disparity between the mystical practice of Chan and its religious expression? How does one "do" Chan as a mystical practice, and why would someone want to? And how might a practitioner of Chan best engage with the Chan institution to ensure healthy spiritual growth? With these questions in mind, Chuan Zhi takes us on an exploration into the history and practice of Chan Buddhism, culling insights from meditation masters, historians, and scholars, and offering thoughts from his own personal experience as an ordained Chan monk and meditation enthusiast.
Drawing on over three decades of study and practice, Chuan Zhi takes us on a fascinating journey to uncover the complex character of Chan. Throughout the narrative, he argues that Chan's mystical practices are as valuable for life today as they have been for centuries.
