Zen in Touch
The Seven Factors of Living Happiness
By Khai
Thien, 2004
Book description
Not a
philosophical odyssey into the realm of what we can imagine about the
kingdom of God or the realm of Nirvana, Zen in Touch, rather, is
a spiritual journey that directs us individually to penetrate deeply
into the miraculous world of self-realization by applying the techniques
of Zen. As an essential guidebook for practitioners covering both the
theory and practice of Buddhist meditation, Zen in Touch, with
its seven provoking topics and seven factors of living happiness, offers
the clearest guidance regarding how readers may reach the state of
Nirvana—true happiness—in one’s daily life by liberating the
great potentials of the Buddha nature from inner bondage and the
hindrances of the impure mind. This handbook of Living
Happiness is not only for Zen students and practitioners but for
everyone who wishes to get in touch with the base of Nirvana—the divine
blissfulness— not in the life after death but in the present
moment, the flowing current of reality in which no concept of time such
as yesterday or tomorrow can be found, only the true current of the here
and now.
Synopsis
Zen
in Touch is a simple and clear map that shows us how to handle and
how to live better in the chaos of both the good and the bad, both the
negative and the positive of each personal reality. The first part of
the book provides an intensive review on various aspects of human life,
both internal and external reality; those
aspects are the background on which readers can go further into the
spiritual journey. The second part, the essential core of the
book, presents the Seven Factors of Living Happiness that were
taught directly by the Buddha more than 2,600 years ago. These seven
factors [teachings] are the essential characters in the Buddhist history
of Enlightenment. On the path to Nirvana—eternal happiness—Zen in
Touch could be your best companion.
