How does a real-life Zen master -- not the preternaturally calm, cartoonish Zen masters depicted by mainstream culture -- help others through hard times when he's dealing with pain of his own? How does he meditate when the world is crumbling around him? Is meditation a valid response or just another form of escapism? These are the questions Brad Warner ponders inZen Wrapped in Karma Dipped in Chocolate. During a year that Warner spent giving talks and leading retreats across North America, his mother and grandmother died, he lost his dream job, and his marriage fell apart. In writing about how he applied the Buddha's teachings to his own real-life suffering, Warner shatters expectations, revealing that Buddhism isn't some esoteric pie-in-the-sky ultimate solution but an exceptionally practical way to deal with whatever life dishes out.… (más)

So I read about half of this with Shelley but it's just not exciting enough. We read a bunch the first couple weeks but then stalled and only read it a chapter every couple months. So we picked up a new book to read together. It's not terrible, it is interesting, just not enough when there are so many great books out there. ( )

very interesting. How the author used the zen practice of Buddhism to get through the loss of his mom, grandma, job and marriage. ( )

This book explores Brad Warner’s “Hardcore Zen” perspective through an annus horribilis in which he dealt with his mother and grandmother dying, his marriage breaking up, and losing his dream job. (A lot of the material will be familiar to people who have followed his blog at Suicide Girls.) One of Warner’s goals in writing the book is to point out that Zen masters (he prefers the term “Zen teacher”) are not paragons of virtue, and need to be held to the same standards as everybody else, and he shows it by giving a blunt, warts-and-all look at his own foibles as well as some things that he sees as outright scams being perpetrated in the name of Buddhism. Like his first two books, this is a good look at Zen and the effects you can really expect from investing large amounts of time in zazen, without any of the mystical hype. ( )

Usually writing about Buddhism is preachy and entirely unrealistic. This guy is funny, self-depricating, and he's a real human being who interacts in the real world with other real human beings. ( )

Interesting concept. An angry Buddhist. I did like the way he humanizes the zen master. They have real problems too.... ( )

In 2007 my mom died and then my grandmother died, my wife decided she didn't want to be my wife anymore, I lost my dream job, and people I though were my friends and colleagues in Buddhist practice began attacking me in public over scandals that existed solely in their own minds.
