| Publisher Description: Zen seeds germinate when the ground is ready. These are teachings that are open to everyone. If you've lived a little bit of life, you probably know what it means to have your ground tilled by life's plow. When the ground of your life has been turned over, you are ready receive these seeds.These Zen seeds are teachings that I received from Dainin Katagiri, a Zen monk who came from Japan to the U.S. He ultimately founded the Minnesota Zen Meditation Center in Minneapolis during the 1970's. I began Zen meditation practice there when my own life-ground was being turned over. I was ready to receive the seeds of Zen practice and teachings.Buddhist teachings are often shrouded in language that is not always easy to understand. The teachings in this book are for ordinary people. They originally appeared as articles in the Decorah, Iowa newspaper. They are human life stories. I hope they will speak to you. They are Zen Seeds for Fallow Ground. |
