{"product_id":"the-zen-teaching-of-homeless-kodo","title":"The Zen Teaching of Homeless Kodo","description":"Abandon your treasured delusions and hit the road with one of the most important Zen masters of twentieth-century Japan.\n\nEschewing the entrapments of vanity, power, and money, \"Homeless\" Kodo Sawaki Roshi refused to accept a permanent position as a temple abbot, despite repeated offers. Instead, he lived a traveling, \"homeless\" life, going from temple to temple, student to student, teaching and instructing and never allowing himself to stray from his chosen path. He is responsible for making Soto Zen available to the common people outside of monasteries.\n\nHis teachings are short, sharp, and powerful. Always clear, often funny, and sometimes uncomfortably close to home, they jolt us into awakening.\n\nKosho Uchiyama expands and explains his teacher's wisdom with his commentary. Trained in Western philosophy, he draws parallels between Zen teachings and the Bible, Descartes, and Pascal. Shohaku Okumura has also added his own commentary, grounding his teachers' power and sagacity for the contemporary, Western practitioner.\n\nExperience the timeless, practical wisdom of three generations of Zen masters.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1614290482\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1614290482.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Uchiyama Roshi, Kosho|Okumura, Shohaku|Whitehead, Jokei Molly Delight\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
