Book Description
Description'(C)Mented' is Peter Gigi's first publication of poetry and spoken art. This is book full of poetry that talks differently, for people who think differently. Linguistically and stylistically imaginative and challenging '(C)Mented' is a beautiful mix of the agony and the ecstasy of life.About the AuthorPeter Gigi was born in Newcastle Upon Tyne. Educated at the University of Leeds, he lives in the North of England by the deep, dark sea. As a writer and performer he is also a poet and writes for the stage. His work continues to explore a fascination with disintegration and outsiders.Book ExtractTwinkly LightsHere it comes again pain, pain, pain.Starts with the twinkly lights, flashing fruit in a land of delights. Oh so young how was he to know the way it had to go? Played the games so much, never enough to fill the empty hole. Never can replace that place. How was he to ever know? The only reward is loss and the cost is oh so high.Each spin takes you down; each spin the wheel goes round. Each spin it takes you down, each spin the wheel goes round.Alone now you spin the wheel to feel somehow real. He plays the loosing game, winning, loosing, addiction and abusing; it's all the same. Must be in this spin but even a win is never too much cash to fill the gap. Just more pain again, again and again playing the same old game.Out of cash and out of luck, all around no one gives a fuck. So he feeds the slots, empty pockets he spent the lot and it's never too much cash to fill that gap. Never enough space to replace that place as he plays the loosing game. Here it comes again pain, pain, pain as he plays that loosing game.Each spin takes you down; each spin the wheel goes round. Each spin it takes you down, each spin the wheel goes round. Takes you down, spinning around, takes you down, takes you down.

Opening the Hand of Thought
Author: Kosho Uchiyama
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0861719778
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
For over thirty years, Opening the Hand of Thought has offered an introduction to Zen Buddhism and meditation unmatched in clarity and power. This is the revised edition of Kosho Uchiyama's singularly incisive classic. This new edition contains even more useful material: new prefaces, an index, and extended endnotes, in addition to a revised glossary. As Jisho Warner writes in her preface, Opening the Hand of Thought "goes directly to the heart of Zen practice... showing how Zen Buddhism can be a deep and life-sustaining activity." She goes on to say, "Uchiyama looks at what a person is, what a self is, how to develop a true self not separate from all things, one that can settle in peace in the midst of life." By turns humorous, philosophical, and personal, Opening the Hand of Thought is above all a great book for the Buddhist practitioner. It's a perfect follow-up for the reader who has read Zen Meditation in Plain English and is especially useful for those who have not yet encountered a Zen teacher.

Zen Questions
Author: Taigen Dan Leighton
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0861717082
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
Whether speaking of student or master, Zen hinges on the question. Zen practice does not necessarily focus on the answers, but on finding a space in which we may sustain uncertainty and remain present and upright in the middle of investigations. Zen Questions begins by exploring "The World of Zazen,"--the foundational practice of the Zen school--presenting it as an attitude of sustained inquiry that offers us an entryway into true repose and joy. From there, Leighton draws deeply on his own experience as a Zen scholar and teacher to invite us into the creativity of Zen awareness and practice. He explores the poetic mind of Dogen with the poetry of Rumi, Mary Oliver, Gary Snyder, and even "the American Dharma Bard" Bob Dylan. What's more, Leighton uncovers surprising resonances between the writings of America's Founding Fathers--including Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin--and the liberating ideals at the heart of Zen.

Zen Under the Gun

Publisher: Simon and Schuster

Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
This book, from one of the pioneering and preeminent translators of Zen for the West, presents a selection of Zen lessons from four teachers in four successive generations. More than just a book on Zen philosophy, "Zen Under the Gun" spans the turbulent period in Chinese history from the last generation of the Song dynasty (overthrown by the Mongols in 1279) to the first generation of the Ming dynasty (which drove out the Mongols, and proclaimed its own reign in 1368). These four Zen masters were all eminent public teachers, and their teaching words reflect the state of China and the art of Zen in their time.

The Ceasing of Notions
Author:
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1614290458
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
Among the writings from the Dunhuang Caves, discovered in the mid-twentieth Century, are the Zen equivalent of the Dead Sea Scrolls--ancient texts unknown for centuries. The Ceasing of Notions is one such text. It takes a unique form: a dialogue between two imaginary figures, a master and his disciple, in which the disciple tenaciously pursues the master's pity utterances with follow-up questions that propel the dialogue toward ever more profound insights. And these questions prove to be the reader's very own. Soko Morinaga brings alive this compact and brilliant text with his own vivid commentary. This volume also includes a generous selection from Morinaga's acclaimed autobiography, Novice to Master: An Ongoing Lesson in the Extent of my Own Stupidity.

Hardcore Zen
Author: Brad Warner
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1614293163
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
Zen, plain and simple, with no BS. This is not your typical Zen book. Brad Warner, a young punk who grew up to be a Zen master, spares no one. This bold new approach to the "Why?" of Zen Buddhism is as strongly grounded in the tradition of Zen as it is utterly revolutionary. Warner's voice is hilarious, and he calls on the wisdom of everyone from punk and pop culture icons to the Buddha himself to make sure his points come through loud and clear. As it prods readers to question everything, Hardcore Zen is both an approach and a departure, leaving behind the soft and lyrical for the gritty and stark perspective of a new generation. This new edition will feature an afterword from the author.

Zen Wrapped in Karma Dipped in Chocolate
Author: Brad Warner
Publisher: New World Library
ISBN: 1577318439
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
How does a real-life Zen master — not the preternaturally calm, cartoonish Zen masters depicted by mainstream culture — help others through hard times when he’s dealing with pain of his own? How does he meditate when the world is crumbling around him? Is meditation a valid response or just another form of escapism? These are the questions Brad Warner ponders in Zen Wrapped in Karma Dipped in Chocolate. During a year that Warner spent giving talks and leading retreats across North America, his mother and grandmother died, he lost his dream job, and his marriage fell apart. In writing about how he applied the Buddha’s teachings to his own real-life suffering, Warner shatters expectations, revealing that Buddhism isn’t some esoteric pie-in-the-sky ultimate solution but an exceptionally practical way to deal with whatever life dishes out.
