    From Next Week: We will return to the Book of Equanimity

    Dear All,

    A reMINDer that, from next week, we will return to the Koans of the Book of Equanimity, reading the wonderful "this worldly" commentary by Shishin Wick. We worked with the book last year and will come back from the middle (please watch for the assignment next week). The book is available for purchase here, which is a good thing to do ...

    Amazon.com
    http://www.amazon.com/The-Book-Equanimity-Illuminating-Classic/dp/0861713877


    Until you receive the book, it is also available in portions here ...

    The Book of Equanimity
    https://books.google.co.jp/books?id=Cg0sBPvvs0gC&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false
    The Book of Equanimity contains the first-ever complete English language commentary on one of the most beloved classic collections of Zen teaching stories (koans), making them vividly relevant to spiritual seekers and Zen students in the twenty-first century. Continually emphasizing koans as effective tools to discover and experience the deepest truths of our being, Wick brings the art of the koan to life for those who want to practice wisdom in their daily lives.The koan collection Wick explores here is highly esteemed as both literature and training material in the Zen tradition, in which koan-study is one of two paths a practitioner might take. This collection is used for training in many Zen centers in the Americas and in Europe but has never before been available with commentary from a contemporary Zen master. Wick's Book of Equanimity includes new translations of the preface, main case and verse for each koan, and modern commentaries on the koans by Wick himself.


    All of the Koans, but without Shishin's commentary, are available here ...

    Dear All, Well, the moment has come to begin our reflecting, dancing, living the 100 Koans of the Book of Equanimity ... We are going to try a great experiment, seeing how these Koans may be brought to life in our lives ... feeling how each resonates in our heart, and the Wisdom each carves into our bones. At the core

                  Always been a little intimidated by koans. I'm looking forward to this read very much.

                                          Thank you,

                                          I enjoyed studieing the last book with you all.
                                          Interesting, what I would've missed without you.
                                          Ready to go.
