Buddha Recognizes Buddha
by Rev. Master Daishin Morgan.
This book is inspired by a deep study of the works of Dogen, within the context of practice, over many years.
It takes seriously the teaching that enlightenment is an ever-present reality, whereby Zen meditation is an expression of enlightenment, not a means to an end. This can have a profound effect on how we live.
Rev Master Daishin explores the role of will, faith, hope, cause and effect from the point of view of non-duality.
How can we understand ourselves and others without dividing the world into opposites - and still find a basis for moral action?
