Item description from seller

Introduction to Zen Training is a translation of the Sanzen Nyumon, a foundational text for beginning meditation students by Omori Sogen-one of the foremost Zen teachers of the twentieth century.This book addresses many of the questions which arise when someone first embarks on a journey of Zen meditation-ranging from how long to sit at one time to how to remain mindful when not sitting-and it concludes with commentaries on two other fundamental Zen texts, Zazen Wasen (The Song of Meditation) and the Ox-Herding Pictures. Written to provide a solid grounding in the physical nature of Zen meditation training, this text delves into topics such as:BreathingPainPosturePhysiologyDrowsinessHow to find the right teacherThe differences between the two main Japanese schools of Zen: Soto and Rinzai ZenAs a master swordsman, Omori Sogen's approach to Zen is direct, physical, and informed by the rigorous tradition of Zen and the martial arts that flourished during Japan's samurai era.

His is a kind of spiritual warriorship he felt was direly needed in the middle of the twentieth century and that is no less necessary today.With a new foreword from Daihonzan Chozen-ji, the headquarters Zen temple established by Omori Sogen in Hawaii, this book is an essential text for every student of Zen meditation.…
