Sharing thirty years' experience as a Zen practitioner and teacher,
Hamilton offers a variety of practical tools for Zen training to a
wide audience. By practising to "untrain our inner parrot", we
learn to quiet down - and not take so seriously - ongoing habitual
mental chatter. In addition to helpful techniques for learning Zen
practice, the author also presents what's at the heart of Zen -
waking up to one's daily experience - in a clear, accessible,
lighthearted, and humorous style. It's a usable manual for
exploring and establishing a beginning sitting practice and
includes simple instructions to clarify and elucidate the basics
such as: how to develop physical, mental, and emotional awareness
of one's mind and actions; how to experience "open" awareness - the
objectivity of observing oneself in practice while allowing for a
sense of spaciously accommodating whatever occurs; and how to
understand and experience the esoteric Zen concept of full-empty
awareness - a full appreciation of the primordial nature of all,
which is the result of meditation.
