| | On Finding a Zen Teacher |
| | Sometimes you can learn what you are seeking from a teacher who is not necessarily a Zen teacher. | | | And sometimes people find just what they are seeking in Zen and make it their personal religion. | | | In Zen, lineage is a system whereby a teacher is certified to teach by his own teacher, and so forth. |

| | Dogen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | At a young age, he questioned that "Both the esoteric and exoteric doctrines of the Buddha teach that enlightenment is inherent in all beings from the outset. | | | Like Luther writing in German, Dogen often wrote in Japanese, rather than Chinese as was the custom at that time, conveying the essence of his Zen thought in a style that was at once simple, concise, compelling, and inspiring. | | | If this is so, why do all the Buddhas, past, present, and future, seek enlightenment ?" This doubt led him to study Buddhism under the Rinzai teachers |

| | The Zen Teacher As Midwife |
| | The teacher-disciple relationship in Zen involves a covenant whereby the teacher agrees to render to the disciple whatever is called for or necessary in enabling the disciple to live more fully the life of oneness and interconnectedness that Zen practice opens one to. | | | In presenting oneself to a particular teacher in Zen, it is understood that the disciple will take this teacher's word to be authoritative in matters relating to Zen practice and will not turn to other teachers to seek help on the same matters while one remains in this covenant. | | | We are describing the fundamental steps involved in the practice of seated Zen meditation, but this written account can in no way take the place of a living teacher who can guide the practitioner by the hand, step-by-step in the process. |

| | the Montreal Zen Center, Teacher Albert Low |
| | The basic message of all the Mahayana Buddhist sutras is awakening – what the consummate Zen teacher Bassui called "seeing the wordless sutra." Zen and the Sutras is an accessible study of the major Mahayana sutras as manuals for the practice of Zen. | | | Low’s insights and conclusions about spirituality and humanity will both illuminate and inspire, in the way of Zen, in the search for spiritual awakening. | | | Drawing on the views of such diverse thinkers as Buddha, Bertrand Russel, Immanuel Kant, and T.S. Eliot to explain the essential concepts of Zen Buddhism, The Iron Cow of Zen is fascinationg thought provoking reading. |

| | chogye international zen center |
| | Zen employs several simple techniques of formal practice and meditation that help direct the student towards a central question : "What am I ?" Athough this question seems shapeless, Zen has developed, over many centuries, a practical and clearly defined means of approaching it. | | | The Chogye International Zen Center of New York was found- ed in 1975 by Zen Master Seung Sahn who is the first Korean Zen Master to live and teach in the West. | | | These centers are linked together by an organization known as the Kwan Um School of Zen, which works to organize and schedule Dae Soen Sa Nim's efforts to teach Zen Buddhism and to assist him in his other efforts in the direction of world peace. |
