A screenwriter and stand-up comic’s hilarious and profound account of his journey into Zen monkhood—featuring a foreword by Leonard Cohen Shozan Jack Haubner is the David Sedaris of Zen Buddhism: a brilliant humorist and analyst of human foibles, whose hilarity is informed by the profound insights that have dawned on him—as he's stumbled and fallen into spirituall practice. Raised in a truly strange family of Mel-Gibson-esque Catholic extremists, he went on to study philosophy (becoming very un-Catholic in the process) and to pursue a career as a screenwriter and stand-up comic in the clubs of L.A. How he went from life in the fast lane to life on the stationary meditation cushion is the subject of this laugh-out-loud funny account of his experiences. Whether he’s dealing with the pranks of a juvenile delinquent assistant in the monastery kitchen or experiencing profound compassion in the presence of his spiritual teacher, Haubner’s voice is one you'll be compelled to listen to. Not only because it’s highly entertaining, but because of its remarkable insight into the human condition.

A young Soto Zen monk in America sets out to find the Secret of Zen. In this book what he found is laid out and explained in plain language that is easy to follow and understand. Zen as he explains is about 'intuition'. It alone is the means for realizing the secret of Zen. Knowing this is the enlightenment of the Buddhas. The Secret of Zen is no ordinary Zen book, the author goes directly to the heart of Zen's path, and brings it forth in a way that anyone with an ounce of wisdom can understand. He further goes on to explaining how each of us can also discover Zen's secret, personally. But be forewarned the path becomes more difficult the more a person advances towards Zen's secret.

Jack Haubner voleva diventare un famoso sceneggiatore di Hollywood ma, dopo anni di fallimenti annegati in smodate quantità di sesso, droga e alcol, si ritrova senza soldi, senza prospettive e senza affetti. Deciso a dare una svolta alla sua vita, inizia a seguire gli insegnamenti di un maestro Zen, ma senza troppa convinzione, fin quando un giorno, in uno di quei rari momenti di pura illuminazione, decide di ritirarsi sulla vetta della montagna dove sorge il monastero Zen, convinto di poter trovare il paradiso in terra. La realtà delle cose sarà ben diversa: al monastero fa caldissimo d’estate e freddissimo d’inverno, manca qualsiasi tipo di comfort, compresi luce e acqua, e per di più Haubner dovrà seguire un addestramento tutt’altro che semplice. Ostinato nel suo proposito di diventare una persona “vera”, si sforzerà di seguire gli insegnamenti Zen dando un senso più mistico e alto a ogni gesto quotidiano, compresa la pulizia delle latrine del monastero. Un libro affascinante, divertente, dissacrante, che pagina dopo pagina svela con un candore quasi imbarazzante i goffi esperimenti a cui l’autore si sottopone per apprendere la lezione Zen. Haubner apre una finestra su un mondo magico che pretende di essere normale e su un mondo normale che pretende di essere magico, con freschezza, sincerità e humor ci parla di sesso, politica, droga, aborto, amore e filosofia Zen senza mai perdere forza e grazia.

Think the life of a Zen monk is all serenity, peace, and austerity? Think again. Here, Shozan Jack Haubner gives an often-hilarious, always-candid account of what it’s really like behind those monastery walls. Haubner’s adventures include memories of his dysfunctional Midwestern family that drove him ultimately to declare, “I think I should be a monk!” to a madcap account of the night he got stoned and snuck out of the monastery, alongside more sobering accounts such as his life-threatening brush with illness, the profound impact of a dear friend’s death, and reflections on the controversy that rocked his Zen community. That he finds timeless wisdom in both the tragic and the absurd is a tribute to Haubner's gifts as a writer and humorist, and to his clear insights into the nature of self and what the practice of Zen is all about.

The transformations Buddhism has been undergoing in the modern age have inspired much research over the last decade. The main focus of attention has been the phenomenon known as Buddhist modernism, which is defined as a conscious attempt to adjust Buddhist teachings and practices in conformity with the modern norms of rationality, science, or gender equality. This book advances research on Buddhist modernism by attempting to clarify the highly diverse ways in which Buddhist faith, thought, and practice have developed in the modern age, both in Buddhist heartlands in Asia and in the West. It presents a collection of case studies that, taken together, demonstrate how Buddhist traditions interact with modern phenomena such as colonialism and militarism, the market economy, global interconnectedness, the institutionalization of gender equality, and recent historical events such as de-industrialization and the socio-cultural crisis in post-Soviet Buddhist areas. This volume shows how the (re)invention of traditions constitutes an important pathway in the development of Buddhist modernities and emphasizes the pluralistic diversity of these forms in different settings.

Zen Sand is a classic collection of verses aimed at aiding practitioners of kôan meditation to negotiate the difficult relationship between insight and language. As such it represents a major contribution to both Western Zen practice and English-language Zen scholarship. In Japan the traditional Rinzai Zen kôan curriculum includes the use of jakugo, or "capping phrases." Once a monk has successfully replied to a kôan, the Zen master orders the search for a classical verse to express the monk’s insight into the kôan. Special collections of these jakugo were compiled as handbooks to aid in that search. Until now, Zen students in the West, lacking this important resource, have been severely limited in carrying out this practice. Zen Sand combines and translates two standard jakugo handbooks and opens the way for incorporating this important tradition fully into Western Zen practice. For the scholar, Zen Sand provides a detailed description of the jakugo practice and its place in the overall kôan curriculum, as well as a brief history of the Zen phrase book. This volume also contributes to the understanding of East Asian culture in a broader sense.

Leading psychologists and meditation teachers explain how mindfulness can help us work with our anger--and ultimately transform it into compassion. Anger. For all of us, it’s a familiar feeling—jaw clenching, face flushing, hands shaking. We feel it for rational and irrational reasons, on a personal and on a global level. If we know how to handle our anger skillfully, it is an effective tool for helping us recognize that a situation needs to change and for providing the energy to create that change. Yet more often anger is destructive—and in its grip we hurt ourselves and those around us. In recent years scientists have discovered that mindfulness practice can reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance our sense of well-being. It also offers us a way of dealing with strong emotions, like anger. This anthology offers a Buddhist perspective on how we can better work with anger and ultimately transform it into compassion, with insight and practices from a variety of contributors, including Thich Nhat Hanh, Sharon Salzberg, Sylvia Boorstein, Carolyn Gimian, Tara Bennett-Goleman, Pat Enkyo O’Hara, Jules Shuzen Harris, Christina Feldman, Mark Epstein, Ezra Bayda, Judith Toy, Noah Levine, Judy Lief, Norman Fischer, Jack Kornfield, Stan Goldberg, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, Dzigar Kongtrül, and many others.
