| Publisher Description: Dou you want to Live Life the Zen Way? Zen Buddhism is a mixture of Indian Mahayana Buddhism and Taoism. It is a practice that was originally handed down from master to disciple. It is not a theory, a belief, an ideology, or a fragment of knowledge. It is not a practice of ritual, a dogma, a doctrine, or a religion. It is a practical experience that focuses on Zazen (Za meaning to sit and Zen meaning meditation). While seeking the worldly pleasures, we become forgetful of what we have right now in the present moment. We become so engrossed in chasing our materialistic goals that we become sad and depressed in case we are unable to fulfill them. This attachment to the worldly objects makes us selfish, greedy and depressed. It poisons our mind with negativity: the negativity related to our own selves when we fail at something; the negativity related to others when we see them enjoying the pleasures we wanted to achieve; and the negativity associated with our life because we find it too challenging and complicated to live. All these ill feelings mix together and lead to a convoluted web that grasps hold of our mind. It pollutes it and never lets it think freely. This is precisely why you are unable to focus on things, find the good in different situations and become hopeful. And this is exactly where Zen comes in. Zen helps you acquire peace and serenity by helping you understand the cause behind your unhappiness.
