The Art of Zen Meditation

De: Howard Fast

Narrado por: Neil Hellegers

Best-selling author Howard Fast’s straightforward introduction to Zen meditation

Howard Fast began to formally practice Zen meditation after turning away from communism in 1956. The Art of Zen Meditation, originally published by the antiwar political collective Peace Press, in 1977, is the fruit of Fast’s study: a brief and instructive history of Zen Buddhism and its tenets, written with a simplicity that is emblematic of the philosophy itself. Fast’s study of Zen also inspired his popular Masao Masuto mystery series about a Zen Buddhist detective in Beverly Hills, which he published under the pseudonym E. V. Cunningham.

A Disappointing Waist of Time

I don’t usually give such hard reviews, but come on! Given the vast amount of reference information available, albeit some being quite pathetic I will admit. The author couldn’t do one better than this for an inquiring mind? The narration was pretty decent! Very disappointed in the content.

Nope

uhhh... 5 minutes of Zen 25 minutes of writer history. while informative way off point.

Nothing to do with zen!!!!

Nothing to do with zen, only 9 min, and not even!!! The rest is garbage!!!!! I wish I never spent my time or money!!!!!!!
