His understanding of sunyata is good but his realization of God is weak. While acknowledging the baggage associated with the word 'God' he does little to address what he means by the word and just lets it hang in its cultural context. ( ) Brad Warner brings his plain-spoken sensibilities to the Zen perspective on God, with perspective from his traveling all over the world as an author, including to conflict-ridden places like Israel and Northern Ireland. As always, he brings a refreshingly blunt viewpoint to a subject that all too easily becomes mired in dogma. His frequent admissions of how much he doesn’t know would be inappropriate in most such works, but they underscore the point that he wants to make: that we should appreciate that God is not fully understandable to our conscious minds. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"In his "intimate, funny, conversational style" (Library Journal), Brad Warner stage dives into the Sam Harris, Karen Armstrong, Christopher Hitchens mosh pit of the God or no God debate - and body surfs up with a typically provocative perspective. Warner was initially interested in Zen because he wanted to find God, but Zen Buddhism is usually thought of as godless. Warner travels around the world looking for insight and what he finds, in chapters like "Sam Harris Believes in God," "God Doesn't Have to Be Real to Exist," and "What God Wants," and through visits to places including Israel, Mexico, and Northern Ireland, is the belief that Buddhism "is a way to approach and understand God without dealing with religion." The fact that the book's title is Warner's mis-remembrance of a Zen monk's quote is emblematic of his profoundly engaging and idiosyncratic take on the ineffable power of the "ground of all being."

""Perspectives on the 'God-or-no-God' debate from an idiosyncratic Soto Zen priest. With stories from his years of Zen practice and his travels to countries such as Israel, Mexico, and Northern Ireland, Warner suggests that Buddhist practice 'is a way to approach and understand God without dealing with religion'"--Provided by publisher"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
