Chan Handbook

Straight from the spoken instructions on Chan (Zen) meditation given by Tripitaka Master Hsuan Hua during meditation retreats in the 70s and 80s in various locations in the United States, this collection touches upon topics such as basic posture and breathing techniques, meditation topics (especially the hua-tou), as well as unsettling experiences that can occur during meditation and the ways to avoid or remedy them.This book, however, does not merely introduce Chan practice; it introduces its tradition in the context of actual experience, as the Master recounts many stories about his own experiences and those of others. 201 Pages Buy Kindle
