{"product_id":"no-beginning-no-end-the-intimate-heart-of-zen-9781590308110","title":"No Beginning, No End: The Intimate Heart of Zen","description":"In \u003ci\u003eNo Beginning, No End\u003c\/i\u003e, Zen master Jakusho Kwong-roshi shows us how to treasure the ordinary activities of our daily lives through an understanding of simple Buddhist practices and ideas. The author's spontaneous, poetic, and pragmatic teachings--so reminiscent of his spiritual predecessor Shunryu Suzuki (\u003ci\u003eZen Mind, Beginner's Mind\u003c\/i\u003e)--transport us on an exciting journey into the very heart of Zen and its meaningful traditions. Because Kwong-roshi can transmit the most intimate thing in the most accessible way, we learn how to ignite our own vitality, wisdom, and compassion and awaken a feeling of intimacy with the world. It is like having a conversation with our deepest and wisest self. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJakusho Kwong-roshi was originally inspired to study Zen because of \u003ci\u003ezenga\u003c\/i\u003e, the ancient art of Zen calligraphy. Throughout this book he combines examples of his own unique style of calligraphy, with less-known stories from the Zen tradition, personal anecdotes--including moving and humorous stories of his training with Suzuki-roshi--and his own lucid and inspiring teachings. All of this comes together to create an intimate expression of the enlightening world of Zen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shambhala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/08\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590308110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.86h x 5.66w x 0.70d","brand":"Jakusho Kwong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43291190067381,"sku":"9781590308110","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_4de7fa49-75bc-495a-9f8b-1ba8222c2224.jpg?v=1700541822","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/no-beginning-no-end-the-intimate-heart-of-zen-9781590308110","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
