Eloquent Silence

Nyogen Senzaki's Gateless Gate and Other Previously Unpublished Teachings and Letters

By: Nyogen Senzaki

This new book, Eloquent Silence, brings depth and breadth to our knowledge and appreciation of this historic figure. For the first time, we can read Nyogen Senzaki's commentaries on the complete Gateless Gate, as well as on several cases from the Blue Rock Collection and the Book of Equanimity; and transcriptions of his talks on Zen, esoteric Buddhism, the Lotus Sutra, what it means to be a Buddhist monk, and many other subjects. Eloquent Silence also includes poems in Nyogen Senzaki's beautiful calligraphic hand (and his own translations); two early letters to his teacher, Soyen Shaku (who represented Japan at the World Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893), as well as a partial autobiography of Soyen Shaku; a series of letters in response to an article by Nyogen Senzaki that was severely critical of the Japanese Zen establishment; and rare photographs. Roko Sherry Chayat has edited Nyogen Senzaki's words with sensitivity and grace, retaining his wry, probing style yet bringing clarity and accessibility to these remarkably contemporary teachings.

Iron Flute

100 Zen Koans

By: Nyogen Senzaki,Ruth Stout McCandless

This book of koans contains some of the most important Zen sayings of all time along with insightful commentary. Koans are the intellectually unsolvable problem-riddles at the core of the Rinzai tradition of Zen Buddhism, perhaps the most well-known one being "what is the sound of one hand clapping." Though widely recognized, most koan remain narrowly understood. In this new edition of The Iron Flute, one hundred of the most challenging and enlightening koan from the Chinese Chan (Zen) patriarchs of the Tang and Sung dynasties are presented, along with commentary from the great Zen masters Genro, Fugai, and Nyogen, and an in-depth biography of author Nyogen Senzaki (1876-1958), a pioneer in bringing Zen Buddhism to the West. The Iron Flute stands alone as the definitive work on koan-an essential pathway to the tenets and practice of Zen Buddhism.

101 Zen Tales

Bestseller Book by Nyogen Senzaki: 101 Zen Tales

By: Nyogen Senzaki

Zen tales are a unique and powerful form of storytelling that originated in the Zen Buddhist tradition. Typically short and straightforward, the Zen tales convey complex philosophical and spiritual messages in a way that is accessible and relatable to people of all ages and backgrounds. One of the most distinctive features of Zen tales is their use of paradox and humour. Many of these stories involve unexpected twists and turns that challenge people's assumptions and invite them to see things differently. Another principal theme in Zen tales is the idea of non-dualism, which is the belief that all things are interconnected and interdependent. Many of these stories emphasise the importance of seeing beyond surface appearances and recognising the fundamental unity of all things. Overall, Zen tales are a powerful tool for spiritual and philosophical exploration and offer valuable insights into the nature of reality and the human experience. Whether read as a form of entertainment or serving as a guide for spiritual growth, the Zen tales inspire and challenge people around the world. In this book, the readers will discover 101 famous Zen tales of all time that will ignite their souls with enlightenment.

Like a Dream, Like a Fantasy

The Zen Teachings and Translations of Nyogen Senzaki

By: Nyogen Senzaki

Just as D.T. Suzuki introduced the West to Zen philosophy, Nyogen Senzaki introduced the West to Zen practice. One of the first Zen masters to emigrate from Japan to the United States, Senzaki became the first great Buddhist teacher to fully immerse himself in the everyday life of the West, and his teachings and practice-centers influences a generation of Western Zen practitioners. "Like a Dream, Like a Fantasy" offers an intimate, in-depth look at one of Zen's earliest American teachers. The book features over 40 separate pieces, including essential talks, essays, and poetry. These works not only offer instruction in Zen, but also reveal Senzaki as a man and provide a rare look into the pioneer days of Zen in America. A striking collection that resonates both as a chronicle and a companion, "Like a Dream, Like a Fantasy" is a powerful and informative title that sparkles with numerous treasures.
