Book Description
In this sparkling collection from one of the most vital teachers of modern Korean Buddhism, Zen Master Daehaeng shows us that there is no raft to find and, truly, no river to cross. She extends her hand to the Western reader, beckoning each of us into the unfailing wisdom accessible right now, the enlightenment that is always, already, right here.
A Zen (or seon, as Korean Zen is called) master with impeccable credentials, Daehaeng has developed a refreshing approach; No River to Cross is surprisingly personal. It’s disarmingly simple, yet remarkably profound, pointing us again and again to our foundation, our “True Nature” – the perfection of things just as they are.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“
No River to Cross speaks directly and simply from the heart, much in the manner of Shunryu Suzuki’s Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind. Master Daehaeng’s ability to penetrate the skin with plain and pointed words should give this work the same longevity.”–Francisca Cho, Georgetown University, translator of Everything Yearned For“Daehaeng Kun Sunim emerges in this collection as one of the most creative and accessible of contemporary Korean Buddhist teachers, capable of using even the most mundane of daily events as grist for the mill of Buddhist teaching and practice.”–Robert Buswell, Director of the Center for Buddhist Studies, UCLA, from his Foreword
