Healing our wounded Earth is not unrelated to healing our own
personal wounds. The pains of the Earth and those of the
individuals making up our Earth community cannot be separated. Thus
the healing of our individual lives can become the basis of the
healing of Earth. This book sheds light on Zen as a spiritual path
that leads to healing - in the personal, social, and ecological
dimensions of our being. If you are seeking a form of spiritual
practice that addresses all three of these dimensions or simply
seeking to deepen your understanding of the Zen path, it is written
for you. If instead of fragmentation, disorientation, and vacuity,
you seek wholeness, groundedness, and integrity in your life, it is
written for you. Perhaps you, too, have come to realize that our
global community is in a sad state of affairs, that we need to
radically change how we live and relate to one another and to the
Earth. You may already be engaged in some form of social or
ecological action addressing these issues-and you may feel
overwhelmed by the magnitude of the task. If you've been tempted to
pessimism or have thrown up your hands in despair when your best
efforts don't seem to make a dent, this book is for you, "Healing
Breath" offers a way to integrate a spiritual path with active,
socio-ecological engagement as the ground.
This book also addresses another set of questions: can a Christian
genuinely practice Zen? How is Zen practice compatible with a
Christian faith commitment? To fully engage in a Zen practice, what
kind of belief system is presupposed or required? How can spiritual
practice in an Eastern tradition inform Christian life and
understanding?
In the process of describing the Zen way of life, "Healing Breath"
will consider various Christian expressions, symbols, and practices
- not as an apologetic for that belief system, but to show how
they, too, point to the transformative and healing perspectives and
experiences provided by Zen.
