In modern practice settings, students will find that Bodhidharma's words \"direct pointing at the human mind\" are little mentioned, or else taken to be simply a general descriptor of Zen rather than a crucial activity within Zen practice. Reversing this trend toward homogeneous and superficial understandings of Zen technique, \u003ci\u003eHidden Zen\u003c\/i\u003e presents a diverse collection of practice instructions that are transmitted orally from teacher to student, unlocking a comprehensive path of awakening.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book reveals and details, for the first time, a treasury of \"direct pointing\" and internal energy cultivation practices preserved in the Rinzai Zen tradition. The twenty-eight practices of direct pointing offered here illuminate one's innate clarity and, ultimately, the nature of mind itself. Over a dozen practices of internal energetic cultivation galvanize dramatic effects on the depth of one's meditative attainment. \u003ci\u003eHidden Zen\u003c\/i\u003e affords a small taste of the richness of authentic Zen, helping readers grow beyond the bounds of introspection and sitting to find awakening itself.","brand":"Shambhala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42914216345855,"sku":"9781611808469","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781611808469_s600x595.jpg?v=1775585294","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781611808469","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
