A fiery and intensely dynamic Zen teacher and artist, Hakuin
(1685-1768) is credited with almost single-handedly revitalizing
Japanese Zen after three hundred years of decline. As a teacher, he
placed special emphasis on koan practice, inventing many new koans
himself, including the famous "What is the sound of one hand
clapping?" This English translation of Hakuin's intimate
self-portrait includes reminiscences from his childhood, accounts
of his Zen practice and enlightenment experiences, as well as
practical advice for students.
This book offers a path to well-being and satisfaction for the
anxious and exhausted and anyone charmed by concepts such as hygge,
ikigai, and wabi sabi. Psychologist Scott Haas spends much of his
time in Japan, and with this book he provides a host of delightful
examples of the way he has been made welcome, accepted and happy in
this distant country, as well as many thought provoking and
practical lessons which you can apply. WHY BE HAPPY? will help make
your world a happier place by discovering a place of contentment
and peace amid the chaos of modern life.
