Zen - Questions and Answers

Today much is being said and written about the crisis of the world’s major religions, which is characterized by the emergence of an increasing number of diverse sects. But this does not apply to Zen Buddhism. Zen continues its march... across all countries and all continents. It is well known in Russia as well. Perhaps this is because Zen, in our age of pragmatism and spiritual decline, is perceived by seekers of Truth not as a religion that can further enslave an already entangled individual lost in the deadlock of social and religious rules, but as a coherent system of spiritual and physical improvement.
The book by Dani Vaksman is a wonderful confirmation of this. His answers to questions about Zen provide a detailed description of the practice of zazen - a meditative practice of gradually penetrating into oneself. The attainment of one's true "Self", satori - the enlightenment of consciousness here and now in the state of an unblemished, thought-free "pure" mind - is the main theme of this book.
