About This Book
An easy-to-understand, comprehensive presentation of the core teachings of Zen
Buddhism--from the author of Dropping Ashes on the Buddha.
The Compass of Zen is a simple, clear, and often hilarious presentation of the
essential teachings of the main Buddhist traditions--culminating in Zen--by one
of the most beloved Zen Masters of our time. In his many years of teaching
throughout the world, Zen Master Seung Sahn has become known for his unique
ability to cut to the heart of Buddhist teaching in a way that is strikingly
clear, without relying upon esoteric or academic language. In this book, based
on his talks, he presents the basic teachings of Buddhism in a way that is
wonderfully rich and accessible for both beginners and long-time students.
The book also contains Zen Master Seung Sahn's "Ten Gates," his presentation of
ten essential kong-ans (koans) that provides much insight into these
little-understood tools for self-understanding.
"Like two arrows meeting in the air, this extraordinary
book meets the mind point. Please relax and enjoy it."--Joan Halifax, author of
The Fruitful Darkness
"The Great Way and a dozen side paths: all are present in The Compass of Zen.
However lost it may get you, it always points to true north, because it issues
straight from the great bodhisattva heart of Zen Master Seung Sahn." --Stephen
Mitchell, translator of The Gospel According to Jesus
"This Compass is rich and full of energy which reflects Dae Soen Sa Nim's
limitless attainment. The stories are living teachings that are playful,
inspiring, mindboggling, happy, and sad--aieeego! It is the everyday lives of
all the buddhas and bodhisattvas, because they embody the wisdom and compassion
that have been transmitted from beginningless time.
"Dae Soen Sa Nim, my friend and great teacher, took me by the hand and showed me
the Way. In every situation, he was constantly showing us all the Way. And he
still continues to this very day. His whole being is truly inexhaustible!" --Jakusho
Kwong-roshi, Abbot, Sonoma Mountain Zen Center
