An essential guide to what it's like to spend a week
inside
a Zen Buddhist monastery.
The notion of spending days at a time in silence and meditation
amid the serene beauty of a Zen monastery may be appealing but how
do you do it, and what can you really expect from the
experience?
"Waking Up" provides the answers for everyone who's just
curious, as well as for all those who have dreamed of actually
giving it a try and now want to know where to begin.
Jack Maguire take us inside the monastery walls to present
details of what it's like: the physical work, common meals,
conversations with the monks and other residents, meditation, and
other activities that fill an ordinary week. We learn: What kind of
person resides in a Zen monastery? Why do people stay there/ And
for how long? Must you be a Buddhist to spend time there? What do
the people there do? What is a typical day like? How does the
experience affect people's spiritual life once they're back home?
How can I try it out?
A detailed "Guide to Zen and Buddhist Places" and a glossary of
terms make "Waking Up" not only a handbook for the curious seeker,
but an excellent resource for anyone wanting to know more about the
Buddhist way.
