How can negative emotions like anger, shame, envy, and jealousy continue to arise?  How do our relative egos relate to the Zen teaching of Emptiness, and what does this mean for our intimate relationships, our emotional bodies, our views of the world and its problems?  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Heart of Zen \u003c\/i\u003erepresents the next generation of spiritual books because it addresses awakening and spiritual life within the context of creating lasting change through the integration of spiritual insight into the flow and flux of everyday life.  Jun Po Denis Kelly Roshi explains how well trained meditation students may learn to be nonreactive to emotions, but they seldom learn how to transform their negative emotions (and the ego that holds them) as part of a more deeply integrated, lived spirituality. Part discussion and part experimental guide, \u003ci\u003eThe Heart of Zen\u003c\/i\u003e book describes precisely what this means in great detail and with  exercises for the reader to follow.","brand":"North Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43375220850943,"sku":"9781583947647","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781583947647_s600x595.jpg?v=1775589194","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781583947647","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
