Synopsis

The Zen way to self-knowledge is a search beyond the fetters of a logical mind toward an understanding of our own true selves. Through meditation techniques and the study of koans-startling paradoxes which cannot be solved by rational thought-a Zen student can produce calmness, clarity, and concentration which ultimately leads to enlightenment. The Elements of Zen explains: - The essence of Zen and how it developed - Its meditation and unique teaching methods - The energy, dom, and wit of this widely practiced branch of Buddhism - The koans and stories of the Zen masters that express its non-intellectual, no-mind approach - Zen in daily life and in the martial arts
