Specifikacia Throw Yourself Into the House of Buddha: The Life and Zen Teachings of Tangen Harada Roshi Harada Tangen
From narrowly surviving WWII through enduring the profound rigors of traditional Zen training, Tangen Harada's fascinating life story and teachings present a classic picture of the Buddhist journey from suffering to realization.In August of 1945, at the age of twenty-one, Tangen Harada stood on an airfield in Japan, drank the cup of sake traditionally offered to kamikaze pilots, and prepared to board the airplane on which he would undertake a suicide mission for his country. Only the voice of Emperor Hirohito on the radio--never before heard by the Japanese public--announcing Japan's surrender, saved his life. After returning from a Russian POW camp in 1946, overcome with survivor's guilt, Harada sought out the counsel of a Zen master, thus embarking on the path of healing and awakening to which he would commit the rest of his life.Accessible and profound, Throw
