Overview

Oneness is all there is! But how can we begin to understand this when we are completely absorbed in our conviction that we are separate? The author, who has spent years as a Zen monk, talks about the understanding that comes from what is known as a Kensho, or the seeing of one's true nature. This book points to the essence of what Zen insight reveals. It looks directly at those assumptions and problematic beliefs which prevent us from being able to see that our world is One. The idea that you are an individual human living in the world is so ingrained that it is a cornerstone of every aspect of thought and emotion. It is the basis of your identity and of how you think. You have never questioned this assumption and over this foundation has been laid a framework of additional beliefs. But the teaching of Oneness is not about beliefs, it is about seeing through and dissolving the false identity we have created. It is about directly recognizing what is here and who you are. The mind's habit is to continually color and obscure one's view of the world through its beliefs and identification with itself as a separate entity. But this direct seeing is immediate and without thought or beliefs. Being Oneness is a clear and profound shift in perspective which is available to everyone. The Zen Teaching of Oneness is an abbreviated version of the book Barebones Zen. This is a short and deceptively simple book which clearly explains the distilled fundamental Zen concepts of Oneness.
