Zen Buddhism: a beginner's guide to the school of Rinzai Zen
The Rinzai school of Buddhism is a minority in the west, but its lessons are just as fundamental as any other sect of Buddhism. I have studied Buddhism for the last ten years, and have made it my life long mission to educate others that want to hear about this fascinating faith. Unlike religions of the west, Buddhism has a much more difficult lineage to follow, and often the differences between schools of Buddhism go unnoticed. The aim of this book is to educate on the foundation of the Rinzai School; where it started, its mission, how it's different from other schools, and how it can be used in your life today. Whether you are a scholar, are interested in conversion, or are merely seeking more information about Buddhism, this book will serve as an indispensable guide. I will teach you the fundamentals of the Rinzai faith, describing the history from a western perspective, and explaining the fundamentals in way that anyone can understand. If Buddhism has been difficult to understand before, that will no longer be the case. I will contextualize the faith so that even those with limited knowledge of East Asian history will fully comprehend its origins. The Rinzai School is one of the most fascinating sects in Buddhism with its use of koan questions to motivate the mind and reach enlightenment. Start your journey today and learn about the faith that has influenced millions the world over.
