Budovideos.com - Introduction to Zen Training Book by Omori Sogen

An Introduction to Zen Training,A Translation of Sanzen Nyumon, is a key text for the Zen student, written by one of the foremost Zen teachers of the twentieth century. Omori Sogen began his formal training in his early twenties. After World War II, he entered the priesthood, and for the next forty years he taught swordsmanship, calligraphy, and Zen, while also writing twenty books and serving as a court magistrate in Japan. This classic work, first published in 1964, provides a solid foundation for the Zen student, offering full discussions of breath, pain, posture, drowsiness, state of mind, physiology, and the context in which this arduous training takes on its meaning. Providing answers for virtually any question that the student of Zen is likely to pose, Omori Sogen?s text, available now in paperback for the first time, concludes with his commentaries on two fundamental Zen texts, Zazen Wasan (Song of Zazen) and the Ten Oxherding Pictures.
