A comprehensive handbook for seated meditation practice and an authoritative presentation of the Zen path.

This pioneering guide tozazen-Zen-style seated meditation-provides practical instructions on how to begin or elevate your practice and progress along the Zen path

Zen Trainingis a comprehensive handbook forzazen, seated meditation practice, and an authoritative presentation of the Zen path. The bookmarked a turning point in Zen literature in its critical reevaluation of the enlightenment experience, which the author believes has often been emphasized at the expense of other important aspects of Zen training. In addition,Zen Traininggoes beyond the first flashes of enlightenment to explore how one lives as well as trains in Zen. The author also draws many significant parallels between Zen and Western philosophy and psychology, comparing traditional Zen concepts with the theories of being and cognition of such thinkers as Heidegger and Husserl.

Industry Reviews

"Written by a lay teacher with 60 years of experience in zazan, this book provides everyone from absolute beginner to experienced student with detailed, progressive information and discussion on breathing, posture, distraction, actions of mind, physiology, mood, laughter, kensho, and samadhi."--Library Journal

"An extraordinarily important book. It should be on the shelves of all libraries."--Choice

"[Sekida's] approach is radical in its attempt to define Zen practice in terms of Western physiology and phenomenology."--New Age Journal

"This book is a valuable work. Though physiologically technical, it remains personal and practical, focusing on the actual experience of zazen practice. Ultimately, however, it is the concentrated and serious spirit of the book that most tellingly establishes its value to those interested in Zen."--Philip Kapleau
