Klappentext
The author of Hardcore Zen reveals how Godzilla is the ideal initiation to spiritual practice.
There have been books about the Tao of Pooh (as in Winnie-the) and the Dharma of Star Wars. Those connections are easier to make. It's clear, for instance, that George Lucas was influenced by Buddhist philosophy when he created Star Wars. Yoda was supposedly modeled after a well-known Japanese Zen master who lived in California; and the Jedi philosophy often sounds like Buddhism to people who don't know much about Buddhism. Plus, there's a whole genre of books connecting philosophy with such wide-ranging pop culture topics as Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Star Trek, and even South Park.
But Godzilla and Zen? Those two might seem monstrously difficult to connect! Best-selling writer and iconoclast Zen teacher Brad Warner takes the reader on a wild ride. This controversial Zen master has long sought to strip away the sheen off many taboo topics in Zen Buddhism and exhibit a healthy dose of reality to his readers.
