Zazen, the silent intentional sitting in the Buddha's posture, is the heart of a tradition that has been passed on from master to student for thousands of years, a practice of experience, characterized by presence in the moment, mindfulness and alertness in everyday actions, thoughts and speech, by ethical behavior according to the Buddha's teachings, by doing right, by compassion and benevolence towards all beings.
Many questions about this, whether we are just beginning or have been practicing for a long time, accompany us and arise again and again. How does one practice zazen? How does it change our lives? How does it shape our behavior, our relationship to the social world, to others, to the universe? What is true wisdom? What does awakening, satori, mean for us and our lives?
To such and many other questions about all essential aspects of Zen Buddhism, Zen Master Wang-Genh gives us clear and authentic answers and guidance, shaped by his lifelong practice and providing deep insight into the essence of this discipline. As a student of Zen Master Taisen Deshimaru, he has been practicing and teaching Zen for over thirty years. He directs the Strasbourg Zen dojo and the Ryumon-Ji monastery in Alsace.
