Description
Dropping Ashes on the Buddha presents a unique and humorous approach to Zen teaching. In this book, Korean Zen Master Seung Sahn engages in lively dialogue with his American students, using astonishment and paradox to convey the essence of the Zen method. Through a mix of formal interviews, stories, and letters, Dropping Ashes on the Buddha offers a fresh perspective on the teachings of "instant dialogue" between master and student. This approach aims to lead to an understanding of ultimate reality, and is presented in a spontaneous and authentic way. The book provides a candid look at the interactions between Seung Sahn and his students, offering insights into the Zen teaching method that may challenge conventional thinking.
