"This is one of the most important works on spiritual realization to be written in years.  It's based on Jun Po Kelly Roshi's breakthrough insights into how to distill and dramatically accelerate the koan practice of Zen--and thus dramatically accelerate the awakening process in consciousness.  There's really nothing like this out there, and no matter what your 'official' spiritual orientation, you really can't afford to miss this revolutionary process for your own awakening and enlightenment.  My absolutely highest recommendation!" --Ken Wilber, author of  The Integral Vision:A Very Short Introduction to the Revolutionary Integral Approach to Life, God, the Universe, and Everything, "This is one of the most important works on spiritual realization to be written in years.

Synopsis
A Zen teacher shares his uniquetake on enlightenment, emotional maturity, and the integration required to take one's seat in true liberation While we are more and more familiar with popular ideas of enlightenment and spiritual awakening, life still comes at us full force, and hope can turn to frustration as the gulf between our spiritual belief and our everyday life seems to loom ever larger. Through spirited Q&A sessions with Zen master Jun Po Denis Kelly Roshi, The Heart of Zen takes a gradual, step-by-step approach to what has become a vexing problem in spiritual circles. What is missing is integration. If awakening truly transforms every part of the life of a person, where are we getting stuck? How can negative emotions like anger, shame, envy, and jealousy continue to arise? How do our relative egos relate to the Zen teaching of Emptiness, and what does this mean for our intimate relationships, our emotional bodies, our views of the world and its problems? The Heart of Zen represents the next generation of spiritual books because it addresses awakening and spiritual life within the context of creating lasting change through the integration of spiritual insight into the flow and flux of everyday life. Jun Po Denis Kelly Roshi explains how well trained meditation students may learn to be nonreactive to emotions, but they seldom learn how to transform their negative emotions (and the ego that holds them) as part of a more deeply integrated, lived spirituality. Part discussion and part experimental guide, The Heart of Zen book describes precisely what this means in great detail and with exercises for the reader to follow., A Zen teacher shares his unique take on enlightenment, emotional maturity, and the integration required to take one's seat in true liberation While we are more and more familiar with popular ideas of enlightenment and spiritual awakening, life still comes at us full force, and hope can turn to frustration as the gulf between our spiritual belief and our everyday life seems to loom ever larger.

    Arrived in Perfect Condition because it was packaged well......in a heavier envelope inside one of those flimsy plastic ones. A+ for packaging. Good price as well. The mailman tried his best to mess things up since I also got several other packages (it was like Christmas!!), but the packaging saved the day. Would definitely buy from again. Superb seller!

    I received this book in a matter of a few days. It is in perfect condition. It arrived tightly wrapped in plastic for protection. Then it had several layers of padding wrapped around the book, then finally the outer envelope. I appreciate the attention they put into my purchase and I would happily buy from them again. I got a high quality, beautiful book for a great value price. Thank you so much.
