Summary, Etc. "Zen as the ideal path for those who have left institutional religion behind In this liminal moment, when the grip of our old religions has loosened, a prominent Zen practitioner asks: What is religion? What is spirituality? And what is it all about? Ford begins by invoking the ideas of Aldous Huxley, welcoming what he calls a "naturalistic perennialism." Ford believes there are currents of religion that are rooted in our biology. And as something natural, it is something that people can find within all religions, in fact, the heart birthing of all religions. Then, true to the book's title of the book, Ford asks and answers, "Why then, Zen?" and demonstrates how pure Zen is as simple as noticing and waking: an expression of an intimate way of life. Four noble truths, ox herding pictures, samadhi, koan, lovingkindness, and many other Zen essentials are here, in succinct and conversational prose that offers a lifeboat to anyone who feels something missing in the absence of religious life"-- Provided by publisher.
