The Bodhicaryavatara - $275

20 May, 2013 by rgonzalezr

Written in India in the early 8th century AD, ‘Santideva’s Bodhicaryavatara addresses the profound desire to become a Buddha and rescue all beings from suffering.

Indeed, his book has long been regarded as […]

6 March, 2013 by rgonzalezr

  The New York Times bestseller from Academy award-winning actor Jeff Bridges and Zen leader and author of Bearing Witness, Bernie Glassman. Zen master Bernie Glassman compares Jeff Bridges’s iconic role in The Big Lebowski to a Lamed-Vavnik: one of the men in Jewish mysticism who “are simple and unassuming, and so good that, on account of them, God lets the world go on.” His buddy Jeff puts it another way.

Crow With No Mouth - Ikkyu - Fifteenth Century Zen Master

Crow With No Mouth : Ikkyu : Fifteenth Century Zen Master – $230

6 February, 2013 by rgonzalezr

When Zen master Ikkyu Sojun (1394-1481) was appointed headmaster of the great temple at Kyoto, he lasted nine days before denouncing the rampant hypocrisy he saw among the monks there. He in turn invited them to look for him in the sake parlors of the Pleasure Quarters. A Zen monk-poet-calligrapher-musician, he dared to write about the joys of erotic love, along with more traditional Zen themes. He was an eccentric and genius who dared to defy authority and despised corruption. […]

  In 1989, Bill Porter, having spent much of his life studying and translating Chinese religious and philosophical texts, began to wonder if the Buddhist hermit tradition still existed in China.

But when Porter travels to the Chungnan mountains — the historical refuge […]
