Description: The Crow Flies Backwards and Other New Zen Koans by Ross Bolleter Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "A collection of modern Zen teaching stories, or koans, compiled and commented on by an Australian Zen teacher"-- Publisher Description Discover how the mysterious, powerful form of the koan--known for bringing about sudden enlightenment--can disrupt and illuminate your everyday understanding of life. Traditionally, Zen koans--the teaching stories of Zen--are drawn from the words and teachings of ancient masters and primarily address the concerns of (male) monastic practitioners. In The Crow Flies Backward, Ross Bolleter changes all at. The 108 modern koans offered within address sexuality and childbirth, family, parenthood, work, money and even the nature time itself. These koans are drawn from a variety of modern sources: Western philosophy, the Bible, contemporary and classic literature from Proust to Lewis Carroll and Mary Oliver and Anne Carson, as well as stories provided by authors encounters with his Zen students. Bolleters commentaries provide guidance to the reader on how to engage with each koan and koans in general, and direct guidance in how to meditate with koans. An appendix offers rarely-seen intimate and in-depth accounts of the process of koan introspection, from four of the authors senior students.
