Back in the Protestant fifties, that crypto-Buddhist Jack Kerouac foresaw a"rucksack revolution" in which "wandering Zen lunatics" would boxcar theirway across America, slipping Zen into the native environment in the sameway fluoride was being blended into the local water supplies.
Zen in the art of troubleshooting. (systems library techniques)
19/07/2010 19:33 (GMT+7)
I could offer more examples, but more might cloud the issues and             thus tell you less. The above statement is similar to a Zen koan, a             kind of puzzle Zen masters give to students to make them think             beyond their normal frame of reference--and to drive them crazy.

Zen and Western Psychotherapy:
Nirvanic Transcendence and Samsaric Fixation
13/07/2010 14:11 (GMT+7)
  Much has been said about the relationship between Buddhismand Western  psychotherapy.  I argue  that both the ends andthe means of Buddhist practice far exceed the limitations ofWestern psychotherapy  in its dominant forms.
Zen and the Art of Teamwork
13/07/2010 14:11 (GMT+7)
Chicago  Bulls coach Phil Jackson  has built a career  on    being different. From the Grateful Dead decal on the lamp    in his  office  to his  readings  of poetry  to his  team    before playoff games, his approach  provides a refreshing    contrast  to  the  steely,  tough-guy   persona  of  many    athletic  types.  As he explains  in his new book, Sacred    Hoops: Spiritual  Lessons of a Hardwood  Warrior, Jackson    uses a philosophy  based  in part on Zen Buddhism  to get    the most  out of his people.

Zen and the art of lifestyle maintenance
13/07/2010 14:10 (GMT+7)
By now you've no doubt heard that Buddhism is a pretty cool religion--it'sflexible and nondogmatic, and lots of celebrities say they practice it.Still, it's not exactly easy getting a handle on all that dharma stuff, orkeeping up with who's trading one-liners with the Dalai Lama.
Zen And Taoism Common And Uncommon Grounds of Discourse
13/07/2010 14:10 (GMT+7)
This  ambitious   paper   should   be  taken   as  merelypreliminary and exploratory in nature.  I cannot obviously dojustice to such a multi- faceted subject in a single essay. Ishould therefore like to present in basic outline a frameworkin which Zen and Taoism  can be seen under a better  light soas to foster  proper perspectives  on each and thereby  theirultimate relationship.

Zen and Some Comments on A Mondo
13/07/2010 14:09 (GMT+7)
Zen is not, certainly, a system of speculative philosophy. Zen is not concerned with an attempt to formulate, systematically and intellectually, answers to questions concerning the ultimate nature of man, the ultimate nature of the totality of reality in which man is caught up, or the ultimate nature of the good life and the good society for man.
Zen and Pragmatism--A Reply (Comment and Disussion)
13/07/2010 14:08 (GMT+7)
WHEN  I READ Dr.  Ames's  able  and stimulating        article,"Zen and Pragmatism,"(1) I regretted  that  I        had  not  made  my  points  clear  enough  in  my Zen        articles, but at the same  time  I was  thankful  for        having  incited  him to prepare  such an illuminating        paper.  I  realize  that  I  make  many  inconsistent        statements   in   my   presentation   of  Zen,  which        unfortunately   cause  my  readers  some  trouble  in        understanding  Zen, In the following  I will  try  to        give--in  brief-as much light as I can on my views so        far made public.

Zen and Pragmatism
13/07/2010 14:08 (GMT+7)
It is a rare treat find in the April, 1953, number of Philosophy East and West a controversy between such learned scholars as Hu Shih and Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki about the philosophy which one calls Ch'an and the other Zen. [1] Suzuki is a Buddhist and Hu a pragmatist. The one finds transcendentalism and the other finds naturalism in the same masters, even in the same passages.
Zen and karman
13/07/2010 14:07 (GMT+7)
In the Zen school  great significance  is attributed        to the realization of emptiness (`suunyataa) through        meditation  (zazen).  In this article I will discuss        the relationship  between  such realization  and the        concept  of  karman.

Zen: A Reply to Hu Shih
13/07/2010 14:07 (GMT+7)
One of my first impressions after reading Dr. Hu Shih's learned and instructive paper on Zen Buddhism in China is that he may know a great deal about history but nothing about the actor behind it. History is a kind of public property accessible to everybody who is at liberty to handle it according to his judgment.
Zeami's conception of freedom
13/07/2010 14:05 (GMT+7)
Freedom, as it has been propounded in the rich variety of theories to be found in Western philosophy, has seldom been conceived as an achieved quality of a person. In this article I would like to demonstrate that "freedom" can best be understood in this manner and that one of the most interesting expressions of this view may be found in the work of the Japanese "critic" Zeamia (1363-1443), the "founder" of the aesthetics of the traditional Nohb drama.

Zen and Ethics: Dogen's Synthesis
24/06/2010 13:34 (GMT+7)
Japanese Buddhism has been enriched  by the lives of a goodlynumber  of dynamic, perceptive, often dramatic  and sometimeserratic  saints.  I think there is little doubt that the mostgifted mind among them was that of Doogen Kigen, who lived inthe first half of the thirteenth century.
Zen And Buddhism
24/06/2010 13:33 (GMT+7)
People often ask, "Is Zen a form of Buddhism?" The answer to this question is both yes and no. The answer should be "Yes" because, historically speaking, Zen is a form of Buddhism which was founded by Bodhidharma in China in the sixth century.

Zen and the Brain: Toward an Understanding of Meditation and Consciousness.
24/06/2010 13:26 (GMT+7)
A great deal has been written by medical doctors on the functioning of the brain/ and by mediators on the effects of meditation on the human personality. Medical researchers/ who have attempted to bridge this gap through scientific studies on the efficacy of meditation in bringing about physiological and mental changes in the human personality, have been downright skeptical concerning meditation's positive efficacy.
Zen and American Philosophy
24/06/2010 13:25 (GMT+7)
  American interest in Zen Buddhism is growing. This response to an Oriental outlook must answer to a need. Some people seem to feel that here is the whole answer to what ails the West. There is no hiding the fact that Western civilization, and the United States in particular, confronts not only problems which its science can cope with but also troubles for which more than science is required.

Zen Action/Zen Person
24/06/2010 13:24 (GMT+7)
this unique approach has several merits. It acquaints the reader with the Japanese viewpoint, simultaneously denying that Zen need be inscrutable and impenetrable, while cautioning against wholesale translation of Zen ideas into Western :terminology.
Zen: A Reply to Van Meter Ames
24/06/2010 13:24 (GMT+7)
To understand Zen one must abandon all he has acquired by way of conceptual knowledge and stand before it stripped of every bit of the intellection he has patiently accumulated around him. When, for instance, Dewey talks of "the here and the now," as quoted by Dr. Ames, they both neglect to face the problem personally and sec what it experientially tells them.

The Poetics of Ch'an:Upaayic Poetry and Its Taosist Enrichment
16/06/2010 05:29 (GMT+7)
  The inherent suitability  of the poetic form for         communicating  the ineffable  has long been known to         poet-practioners in all mystical traditions.  Poetry         offers  possibilities  of indirection  and evocation         far   beyond   those   of  any  prose   style.  
Explore the secrets of Zen and the Brain
16/06/2010 05:26 (GMT+7)
Zen meditators train attention both during sitting and daily life practice. How else can we conceptualize the process of long-range Zen meditative training? One suggestion is that it involves a deconditioning, the kind that whittles away old maladaptive aspects of the egocentric self.
