The Buddha's Teaching directly addresses the problems of birth,
aging, sickness, and death, allowing its practitioners to transcend
affliction. It is therefore the highest form of compassion. The
heart of this teaching is Dhyana, sometimes called Zen or Chan. In
this heart of Buddhism, it is understood that the ultimate
compassion of the Buddha's Teaching is a self-evident truth that
that can be realized in this life. The heart of this teaching is
not foreign to Western mind because the fundamental human problems
of birth, aging, sickness, and death are not foreign. However, when
teachers' conduct and words do not match, there is a serious
problem. Should Zen teachers be immune to the results of their
actions, their transgressions buried to preserve teaching lines?
Master Laughing Cloud is a Western lay practitioner who writes from
the direct experience of more than forty years of arduous
bare-knuckled practice that took the form of Western Zen, Chinese
Chan, and, ultimately, Dhyana Buddhism. Taking The Buddha's
Teaching is an odyssey of unlikely beginnings, courageous
encounters, and overcoming betrayal through unrelenting practice.
This approachable and sincere autobiography illuminates the way to
realizing the nature of Self and Universe and how even when facing
adversity, one can be a light unto oneself. In this present-day
continuum of war, civil inequality, and financial instability, it
is the greatest of blessings to come to the open gate of The
Buddha's Teaching. If you aspire to fully enter The Great Way, this
book is indispensable reading.
