The purpose of this book is to help the earnest seeker to understand the concept of Dependent Origination and the 12 individual links. This is the most important idea to be understood on your journey to Nibbāna. The Buddha used the term Paṭicca Samuppāda, which is Pāli for dependent origination. When one understands Dependent Origination, one understands himself/herself, and the world. It is truly the answer to the question of “Who am I?” This is a 12-part series of small books for each one of the 12 links. This booklet covers the link of Bhava, or Habitual Tendencies/Being/...

El Zen para intelectuales, sépase de una vez, nunca fue para “intelectuales”. El lenguaje del Zen significa, desde tiempos inmemoriales, un fuerte, aunque muy artístico embate, contra la obsesión humana de jugar a intelectualizar todo lo que se encuentra a su “alcance”: desde el sentido de las diez mil cosas, hasta las razones del mundo increado. El Zen que da vida a esta obra, es una filosofía antifilosófica que pretende todo, menos afianzarse a la mente de algún simpatizante; por el contrario, busca, de cara a las exigencias de la experiencia de la existencia, desintegrarse.

We are eternal and live on after this life. There is one outcome when we leave this life, and that is love. Whether we believe it or not is completely irrelevant. All the science about death proves this. We are all taught that if we just win all the battles, win the arguments and conflicts, we will find happiness. What we have to find out for ourselves is that the only way to find happiness is to stop fighting all the battles. This is the only solution that is complete and final.

This commentary on this classic 13th century text attempts to make more accessible what Master Dogen calls the “inexpressible heart” of Zen.
