en continuously questions. This does not necessarily involve finding answers, but rather finding a space in which to sustain questioning, being willing to remain present and upright in the middle of questions. Being able to do this enables us to live more flexibly, spaciously, and kindly with our not-knowing. Insights and responses may appear, of course— sometimes more frequently as we settle into the open spaciousness of meditation— but if the answers are worthy, they energize 9780861716456 | 276 pages | $17.95 the path of questioning. eBook 9780861717088 November 2011 This book begins by exploring “The World of Zazen”—the essential physical practice of sitting, the foundational practice of the Zen school—and presents it as an attitude of sustained inquiry that offers us an entryway into true repose and joy. Then Leighton draws deeply on his own experience as a Zen scholar, teacher, and translator, honoring the fact that most Zen teaching is not discursive, but rather poetic and imaginative, and deeply exploring the poetic mind of the ancient Japanese master Dogen, as well as the poetry of Rumi, Mary Oliver, Gary Snyder, and Bob Dylan. What’s more, Leighton uncovers surprising resonances between the writings of America’s Founding Fathers and Zen’s liberating ideals and considers the deep conflict between consumerism and Zen and the Buddhist response to contemporary ecological and societal challenges.
Taigen Dan Leighton is a Soto Zen priest and Dharma successor in the lineage of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi and the San Francisco Zen Center. He is the author of Faces of Compassion and Visions of Awakening Space and Time: Dogen and the Lotus Sutra and is co-translator and editor of several Zen texts, including Cultivating the Empty Field, as well as The Wholehearted Way and Dogen’s Pure Standards for the Zen Community, both translated together with Shohaku Okumura. He currently teaches at the Institute of Buddhist Studies of the Berkeley Graduate Theological Union and leads the Ancient Dragon Zen Gate meditation group in Chicago.
