When "Zen Flesh, Zen Bones" was published in 1957 it became an instant sensation with an entire generation of readers who were just beginning to experiment with Zen. Over the years it has inspired leading American Zen teachers, students, and practitioners. Its popularity is as strong today as ever. "Zen Flesh, Zen Bones" is a book that offers a collection of accessible, primary Zen sources so that readers can struggle over the meaning of Zen for themselves. It includes 101 Zen Stories, a collection of tales that recount actual experiences of Chinese and Japanese Zen teachers over a period of more than five centuries; The Gateless Gate, the famous thirteenth century collection of Zen koans; Ten Bulls, a twelfth century commentary on the stages of awareness leading to enlightenment; and Centering, a 4,000 year-old teaching from India that some consider to be the roots of Zen.

当西方佛学研究进入所谓"拥抱异类"和倾听多音化的时代，【1 】汉语语境的佛学论述似乎仍然满足于在比较狭隘的历史和解释的叙事范围内进行研究。作为禅学的思想考察，尽管随着本世纪初新材料的发现，特别是敦煌文书的公布，学者们开始重新审查传统灯史的可靠性及其写作背景，以冀重建新的禅学思想史。在方式上，由于过分相信新的史料所带来的富有革命性的创见，以历史文献为主而辅以必要思想解释的方法结构遂成为中国现代禅学研究的基本范式。"训诂明而后义理明"这一汉学方式的价值信念，经过现代性的理性包装，使学者们认定，通过对原始文献、考古材料的校勘解读，可以填补历史的时空距离，去重构传统禅学的本来面相。这种雄心勃勃的英雄主义所激发的文献知识学范型，一方面使汉语禅学的历史文献研究，特别是有关唐代禅学的文本研究获得了相当程度的拓展，并与日本同行一起重新建立了早期禅宗发展的历史系谱。

The extraordinary story of a man's quest for truth. It will change the way you think and feel about your life. "The cycle you're working on is a cycle called 'yourself.'" "The study of the art of motorcycle maintainence is really a study of the art of rationality itself. Working on a motorcycle, working well, caring, is to become part of a process, to achieve an inner peace of mind. The motorcycle is primarily a mental phenomenon." -- Robert M. Pirsig

Zen To Done takes the best aspects of a few popular productivity systems (Getting Things Done, 7 Habits and others) and combines them with the mandate of simplicity. It makes things as simple as possible, and no more. Zen To Done is a simple system to get you more organized and productive, and keep your life saner and less stressed, with a set of habits. ZTD teaches you: * The key habits needed to be productive, organized, and simplified... and no more than that. * How to implement these key habits... tips on forming a habit. * How to organize these habits into a simple system that will keep everything in your life in its place. * How to simplify what you need to do. * Includes an even simpler version called Minimal ZTD. Dozens of readers have written to me with comments about how ZTD has changed their lives, made them more organized and less stressed, and has worked better than other productivity systems. It’s definitely worth a try.

A narration of a summer motorcycle trip undertaken by a father and his son, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance becomes a personal and philosophical odyssey into fundamental questions on how to live. The narrator's relationship with his son leads to a powerful self-reckoning; the craft of motorcycle maintenance leads to an austerely beautiful process for reconciling science, religion, and humanism. Resonant with the confusions of existence, this classic is a touching and transcendent book of life.
