Description
The Intimacy of Not Knowing: Finding Your Truth with Zen Koans delves into the unique practice of koan training where students respond through bodily actions rather than verbal explanations. This method showcases their understanding of each koan, illustrating the Zen perspective on the mind-body relationship.
This book explores 14 koans, offering not traditional "answers" but suggesting physical approaches that can lead to profound insights into the true nature of this relationship. Such insights can reveal our hidden true nature, transforming our view of the world and our own lives, ultimately reducing anxiety and mental suffering.
Concluding with simple exercises, the book aids those who have engaged with mindfulness techniques in experiencing the mental freedom that Zen promises. It will appeal to individuals interested in the recent developments in neuroscience that are influencing Western philosophy and psychology, by demonstrating that bodily feelings and emotions are integral to our exercise of reason.
