Description:Thirty years after the publication of his classic work Do gen Kigen-Mystical Realist, Hee-Jin Kim reframes and recasts his understanding of Do gen's Zen methodology in this new book. Through meticulous textual analyses of and critical reflections on key passages primarily from Do gen's Sho bo genzo , Kim explicates hitherto underappreciated aspects of Do gen's religion, such as ambiguity of delusion and also of enlightenment, intricacies of negotiating the Way, the dynamic functions of emptiness, the realizational view of language, nonthinking as the essence of meditation, and a multifaceted conception of reason. Kim also responds to many recent developments in Zen studies that have arisen in both Asia and the West, especially Critical Buddhism. He brings Do gen the meditator and Do gen the thinker into relief. Kim's study clearly demonstrates that language, thinking, and reason constitute the essence of Do gen's proposed Zen praxis, and that such a Zen opens up new possibilities for dialogue between Zen and contemporary thought. This fresh assessment of Do gen's Zen represents a radical shift in our understanding of its place in the history of Buddhism.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
