AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A ZEN MONK
by Taisen Deshimaru
A story of bravery and false starts, Autobiography of a Zen Monk candidly recounts the author’s development from a highly mischievous Japanese boy into a world-renowned Sensei (Teacher) of Zen. While countless memoirs exist written by Zen students and teachers, few are as engaging and as tantalizing as Taisen Deshimaru’s. Looking back at his early life, growing up in Japan, from the viewpoint of his status as a Zen teacher in Paris, the author reflects on his earliest misadventures—from defacing a valuable painting of Bodhidharma as a child, to turning the “Zen stick” on a young monk during a retreat. Adventures abound with stories about alcohol and women, during his student years, and his activities during World War II in working for the arms industry in Malaysia, where he was sympathetic to the underground freedom movement. This first English-language translation of Taisen Deshimaru’s autobiography will be prized for its clear and honest documentation of this great master’s life. Many people all over the world have been influenced by Deshimaru’s Zen teachings, especially his book on Zen and the martial arts. This memoir fills an important gap in our knowledge of his teacher, Kodo Sawaki’s influence on the world of Zen. The story of how Deshimaru met Sawaki as a boy, even slept in the same room with him, and later received monastic ordination is the story of a lifelong friendship of two extraordinary characters in the history of modern Zen. Deshimaru’s influence extends beyond Zen practitioners, though, especially in those interested in the martial arts, as he touches on his martial arts experience as a young man and offers a look into the master’s early training. Additional interest extends to historians who recount the supposed “scandals” of Zen masters’ participation in the war effort. Although Deshimaru’s viewpoint is decidedly subjective, he was intimately acquainted with priests and generals alike, and approaches the difficult subject with a refreshing lack of judgmental disdain which counterbalances many other more lopsided works. Translator, Richard Collins, a longtime Zen practitioner, and currently the Abbot of the New Orleans Zen Temple, is a literature scholar and author of several books including No Fear Zen, Hohm Press, 2014. His knowledge of the subject matter and his finesse with language combine to make this book a delightful read for those who appreciate wellwritten memoir.

2022Micronutrient Depleters: Acid Blockers
Things to know about medicines and micronutrients
by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Klaus Kisters
This guide provides patients with important medical information about interactions of their drug products with vitamins and minerals. These interactions are not always listed in the accompanying package inserts. Those who take acid blockers such as omeprazole or pantoprazole may not only develop disorders relating to calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and bone metabolism in the long term, but above all become deficient in vitamin B12. This way, patients can improve their treatment, reduce the side effects of their medication and increase their quality of life!

April 1964Zen
Aussprüche und Verse der Zen-Meister
by Peter Weber-Schäfer, Peter Weber-Schäfer
Was ist Zen? Die Lehre des Zen selbst widersetzt sich jeder Aussage über ihren tiefsten Inhalt. Es geht allein um das persönliche Erleben einer Antwort auf die Grundfragen menschlicher Existenz. Mystische Versenkung und intuitive Erleuchtung des Geistes sind mit dem Begriff des Zen verbunden, der, wörtlich genommen, Kontemplation, Selbstversenkung bedeutet.

May 2008Vom Geist des Zen
by Alan Watts, Julius Schwabe
Zen ist keine theoretische Belehrung, es ist kein Studium von Schriften. Zen gründet sich vielmehr auf Praxis und auf persönliches Erleben der Wirklichkeit. Es bedeutet den unmittelbaren Kontakt mit dem Leben mit dem Ziel, eine nahtlose Verbindung zwischen Ich und Leben zu schaffen. Der große amerikanische Religionsphilosoph Alan Watts (1915-1973) hat diese Einführung in den Geist des Zen und den Zen-Buddhismus eigens für westliche Leser verfaßt und zeigt ihnen Wege auf, wie sie sich dem Denken des Zen nähern können. Das Buch wurde zum Klassiker.
