Direct pointing (直指) is the open demonstration of Zen by nonsymbolic actions or word,s which usually appear to the uninitiated as having to do with the most ordinary secular affairs, or to be completely crazy. In answer to a question about Buddhism, the master makes a casual remark about the weather, or performs some simple action which seems to have nothing to do with philosophical or spiritual matters. (p.77) (查看原文)
Zen, in particular, has always attached great importance to the expression of Buddhism in formaly secular terms--in arts of every type, in manual labor, and in appreciation of the natural universe. Confucian and Taoist alike would be especially agreeable to the idea of an awakening which did not involve the extermination of human passion, as klesa (烦恼/尘劳) may also be translated. (p.81) (查看原文)
大致上说,译文读起来比较流畅,但存在两方面问题。 一是存在许多误译,好似这些内容被外包给了小工或机器翻译(特别是把 suchness 译为“如此”(p190,第六章),把 blowing out 译为“不呼吸”(p78,第二章))。 如英文版: Our problem is that the power of thought ena...

书里谈到了这么广泛的范围,很多概念可以到很深入的基本的层次,解释的这么清楚,美国人,再一看写作年代,1957,再看后面的参考书目,很佩服作者能够跨种族跨宗教跨文化跨大陆理解这么深入,解说这么明白。参考书目里面的很多书实际比这本书牛,但是作者的理解吸收整合和输出能力,还是很值得佩服的。可读性也很高,文字翻译也不错,但是谈不上什么创造性和太多原创价值了,作为一个相对信息整合的入门读物可以。

无目的,反而更容易专注当下。禅之道,也是无目的生活之道。

AW的禅是行动派的禅,不是虚无主义的
