Zen Battles   – Modern Commentary on the Teaching of Master Linji Revised Edition

£19.00

Thich Nhat Hanh uses the teachings of ninth century Zen Master Linji to give readers tools that help awaken them to their true inner nature. One of the key tenets of the Zen school of Mahayana Buddhism is that each one of us is already a Buddha—our enlightenment is inherent within us, and the practice of mindfulness is the tool to bring this truth to our full awareness. While it can bring much relief, this simple statement does not preclude the need for practice. We must strive to always be aware of our Buddha nature, rather than waiting until times of emotional upheaval when it is more difficult to practice.
