Wisdom and Eloquence
To succeed in the world today, students need an education that equips them to recognize current trends, to be creative and flexible to respond to changing circumstances, to demonstrate sound judgment to work for society's good, and to gain the ability to communicate persuasively.
Wisdom and Eloquence
It seems astonishing, archaic, anachronistic to combine one's religious convictions with one's vocational ambitions. But in the history of the human race it has been much mor common to do this than not. Modern Western society, the so-called liberal, secular West, is really a historical aberration, not the norm. Though we are not Platonists, we agree with Plato's assertion (which we also believe to be biblical) that the pursuit of transcendent ideals is a sure path toward a satisfying life, and we hope our convictions on both why and how we educate our children will reflect this.
Eloquent Silence
This new book, Eloquent Silence, brings depth and breadth to our knowledge and appreciation of this historic figure. For the first time, we can read Nyogen Senzaki's commentaries on the complete Gateless Gate, as well as on several cases from the Blue Rock Collection and the Book of Equanimity; and transcriptions of his talks on Zen, esoteric Buddhism, the Lotus Sutra, what it means to be a Buddhist monk, and many other subjects. Eloquent Silence also includes poems in Nyogen Senzaki's beautiful calligraphic hand (and his own translations); two early letters to his teacher, Soyen Shaku (who represented Japan at the World Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893), as well as a partial autobiography of Soyen Shaku; a series of letters in response to an article by Nyogen Senzaki that was severely critical of the Japanese Zen establishment; and rare photographs. Roko Sherry Chayat has edited Nyogen Senzaki's words with sensitivity and grace, retaining his wry, probing style yet bringing clarity and accessibility to these remarkably contemporary teachings.
