Zen rituals--such as chanting, bowing, lighting incense before the
Buddha statue--are ways of recognizing the sacredness in all of
life. A ritual is simply a deliberate and focused moment that
symbolizes the care with which we should be approaching all of
life, and practicing the Zen liturgy is a way of cultivating this
quality of attention in order to bring it to everything we do.
Here, John Daido Loori demystifies the details of the Zen rituals
and highlights their deeper meaning and purpose. We humans are all
creatures of ritual, he teaches, whether we recognize it or not.
Even if we don't make ritual part of some religious observance, we
still fall into ritual behavior, whether it be our daily grooming
sequence or the way we have our morning coffee and paper. We run
through our personal rituals unconsciously most of the time, but
there is great value to introducing meaningful symbolic rituals
into our lives and to performing them deliberately and
mindfully--because the way we do ritual affects the way we live the
rest of our lives. The book includes instructions for a simple Zen
home liturgy, as it is practiced by students of the Mountains and
Rivers Order of Zen.
