Synopsis
An interpretive translation of the Chinese classic Tao Te Ching.
Tweak your meditation practice with The Tao of Zen. Each of the 81 stanzas will nudge your understanding this way or that in order to shift the aim of your spiritual discipline into alignment with it's actual intended target. Picture yourself as an archer, standing with bow drawn and ready to shoot. The Tao of Zen is a teacher there by your side who is lifting your elbow and correcting your stance. You listen carefully and try to make the adjustments. As the target then comes more clearly into focus you your practice improves accordingly.
Overview
Since the goal of Taoist spiritual practice is to align oneself with the underlying flow of nature known as the profound Tao, the Taoist path resonates on a very fundamental level with the spirit of Buddhism and it's focus upon awakening to one's True Self through the discipline of meditation. This similarity has led to a long association between the two traditions. This book, The Tao of Zen, is yet another blending of these deep streams of spiritual wisdom. Here, a Zen-like “direct pointing to the heart of the matter” approach has been adopted in order to interpret and share the core intent behind each stanza of the original, classic text. The result is 81 compact, meaning rich contemplative statements that shine a practical and highly focused guiding light upon many important facets of spiritual training no matter which tradition the reader may follow, Taoist, Buddhist or any other.
