Book Review: Words and wisdom
Summary: 5 Stars
Thich Nhat Hanh is a direct Dharma heir of Lin-chi, thirty fourth generation I understand. There are few Masters in the our present world who manifest such enlightened activity as does he and many contemporary Buddhists regard him as a fully enlightened Buddha. I recently had the opportunity to attend a retreat led by him in Ha Noi. Remarkably, this was in the company of my own master, Daido Hogen Yamahata, who chose this opportunity to receive the precepts from Thich Nhat Hanh.
In this book, Thich Nhat Hanh reveals to us the deep wisdom and compassion of Lin-chi in a way that one who is of the same mind is able to do. Enlightenment is the union of compassion and wisdom. Aimlessness is one of the three doors of liberation.In studying the writings of the great ancestors and patriarchs of Zen, we must be very careful not to confuse the words used with the intention behind them.
Thich Nhat Hanh shows us Lin-chi's heart and mind and does so in a way that is immediate and profound. This book is the true samadhi of words.
Summary of Nothing To Do, Nowhere To Go: Waking Up To Who You Are
The Zen school of Mahayana Buddhism contends that each one of us is already a Buddha ? the enlightenment we seek is always within us, waiting to be realized through mindfulness and concerted spiritual work. This truth pushes us toward practice, in the hopes that we may awaken our potential and live up to what is inside us. This is a notion taught widely by ninth century Zen Master Lin Chi, and in his tradition Thich Nhat Hanh employs the teachings and writings of Mahayana Buddhism to discuss specific topics in Buddhist study and practice. With these teachings, readers have the tools to awaken the Buddha within.
