Zen : Key to Your Undiscovered Happiness
by
C.N. Hu
When You are Frustrated with Life's Problems, Zen is
indispensable!
Zen serves like a boat which can help you cross
life's torrents safely. It is like a doctor, whom you do not need
while healthy; but when you are ill, he is indispensable. Keeping
you serene, contented and free from worry are just a few practical
applications of Zen to our daily living.
Zen is an
easy-to-understand discussion of Buddhism with application to
modern, everyday life.
Zen answers such questions as
What is happiness?
What is nirvana?
Why is meditation as 'the exploration of inner space'?
How can tai chi ch'uan be used as a health system?
What is the relationship between language and reality?
What is the theory of equilibrium in education, in government,
and in diet?
Why is lateral thinking an expression of the highest wisdom?

An excerpt from Zen:
The basic
problems we face are that we can never get what we want in life. And
worse still, our goals constantly change. Once we have reached one
goal, we might have something else in mind. In other words, we
merely exist. We do not live. We are always in the expectation of
living. Because of this pattern of yearning, we are constantly
confronted with frustrations. Life turns out to be just a problem
solving process. It is quite obvious and everyone can see for
himself that there are more failures than successes in life. And
furthermore what we normally consider to be a success in life is, in
effect, transitory. There is no permanency whatsoever.
In order
to avoid frustration and stop worrying on one hand, and to attain
peace and enjoy happiness on the other, we must re-evaluate our mode
of living and we must re-examine our traditional value judgment.
Above all, we must re-orient our philosophy of life.
Zen can
soothe your tension. Zen can make you regain your perspectives in
life. Zen understands and appreciates the intimacy of psychosomatic
relations. While stressing mental hygiene, it can offer you physical
well-being. |
