Grassroots Zen: Community and Practice in the Twenty-First Century


Add your own review!

Overview

Grassroots Zen envisions a socially engaged Buddhism where zazen is integrated each day with work, family, and social obligations. Though both authors have practiced traditional Zen for decades, here they eschew the militaristic, patriarchal tendencies of Zen in favor of ""an egalitarian community of socially mobile members who place less emphasis upon transmission and hierarchy than on individual responsibility.""

Author Information

Married university professors and authors Manfred Steger (Gandhis Dilemma: Nonviolent Principles and Nationalist Power) and Perle Besserman (aka Perle Epstein) (The Shambhala Guide to Kabbalah and Jewish Mysticism) studied first under the cultural weight of Japanese Zen, then with the light-footed lay master Robert Aitken. Founders of the Princeton Area Zen Group in NJ, they have been teaching their democratic, grassroots-style of Zen for over twenty-five years.
