Product Description
Synopsis
A collection of edited manuscripts of dharma combats between students at Zen Mountain Monastery in Tremper, New York, and Zen master John Daido Loori, Roshi. In dharma combat, the teacher introduces a topic and then invites students to come forward and present their understanding or ask a question. The encounters presented here range from pithy, koan-like exchanges to more discursive discussions - on zazen, the practice of everyday normal life, moral and ethical teachings of Buddhism, liturgy, karma, the monastic rule, the Middle Way - and the students in these encounters are primarily laypeople - mothers, professionals, college students and car mechanics.
