There is a common misconception that to practice Zen is to practice
meditation and nothing else. In truth, traditionally, the practice
of meditation goes hand-in-hand with moral conduct. In "Invoking
Reality," John Daido Loori, one of the leading Zen teachers in
America today, presents and explains the ethical precepts of Zen as
essential aspects of Zen training and development.
The Buddhist teachings on morality--the precepts--predate Zen,
going all the way back to the Buddha himself. They describe, in
essence, how a buddha, or awakened person, lives his or her life in
the world.
Loori provides a modern interpretation of the precepts and
discusses the ethical significance of these vows as guidelines for
living. "Zen is a practice that takes place within the world," he
says, "based on moral and ethical teachings that have been handed
down from generation to generation." In his view, the Buddhist
precepts form one of the most vital areas of spiritual practice.
