About this ebook

Für alle, die unerschrocken wie der Buddha selbst sind.
Wie hilft ein echter Zen-Meister - nicht die milde lächelnden Cartoonfiguren, sondern ein echter Meister - anderen Menschen, wenn er mit seinem eigenen Schmerz beschäftigt ist? Wie meditiert er, wenn seine Welt auseinanderbricht? Ist seine Meditation in diesen Momenten etwas wertvolles oder nur eine Flucht?

Brad Warner schildert in schonungsloser Offenheit ein Jahr seines Lebens, in dem seine Mutter und seine Großmutter starben, er seinen Traumjob verlor und seine Ehe scheiterte. Gleichzeitig beschreibt er gewohnt witzig und wortgewandt, wie die Lehren Buddhas ihm halfen, mit all diesen Ereignissen fertigzuwerden und auch ein mildes Nicht-Eso-Lächeln zu entwickeln.

    So I read about half of this with Shelley but it's just not exciting enough. We read a bunch the first couple weeks but then stalled and only read it a chapter every couple months. So we picked up a new book to read together. It's not terrible, it is interesting, just not enough when there are so many great books out there.

    5/5
    This book explores Brad Warner’s “Hardcore Zen” perspective through an annus horribilis in which he dealt with his mother and grandmother dying, his marriage breaking up, and losing his dream job. (A lot of the material will be familiar to people who have followed his blog at Suicide Girls.) One of Warner’s goals in writing the book is to point out that Zen masters (he prefers the term “Zen teacher”) are not paragons of virtue, and need to be held to the same standards as everybody else, and he shows it by giving a blunt, warts-and-all look at his own foibles as well as some things that he sees as outright scams being perpetrated in the name of Buddhism. Like his first two books, this is a good look at Zen and the effects you can really expect from investing large amounts of time in zazen, without any of the mystical hype.

    very interesting. How the author used the zen practice of Buddhism to get through the loss of his mom, grandma, job and marriage.

    Usually writing about Buddhism is preachy and entirely unrealistic. This guy is funny, self-depricating, and he's a real human being who interacts in the real world with other real human beings.
