Infinite Circle Teachings in Zen

In INFINITE CIRCLE, Glassman takes a back-to-basics approach to Zen. He illuminates three key teachings of Zen Buddhism, offering line-by-line commentary in clear, direct language: -The Heart Sutra: the Buddha's essential discourse on emptiness, a central sutra of the Mahayana Buddhist tradition -The Identity of Relative and Absolute: an eighth-century poem by Shih-t'ou His-ch'ien, a key text of the Soto Zen school -The Zen precepts: the rules of conduct for laypeople and monks Glassman acts as a personal guide offering one- on- one instruction and inviting the reader to explore the intimacies of Zen practice that lead to deep understanding. Based on a series of workshops, these teachings are timeless- and essential for any serious student of Zen.
