A guide to Zen meditative practice informed by the latest findings
in brain research. This is not the usual kind of self-help book.
Indeed, its major premise heeds a Zen master's advice to be less
self-centered. Yes, it is "one more book of words about Zen," as
the author concedes, yet this book explains meditative practices
from the perspective of a "neural Zen." The latest findings in
brain research inform its suggestions. In Meditating Selflessly,
James Austin-Zen practitioner, neurologist, and author of three
acclaimed books on Zen and neuroscience-guides readers toward that
open awareness already awaiting them on the cushion and in the
natural world. Austin offers concrete advice-often in a simplified
question-and-answer format-about different ways to meditate. He
clarifies both the concentrative and receptive styles of
meditation. Drawing widely from the exciting new field of
contemplative neuroscience, Austin helps resolve an ancient
paradox: why both insight wisdom and selflessness arise
simultaneously during enlightened states of consciousness.
