ZEN AND REALITY

An approach to Sanity and Happiness

On a Non-Sectarian Basis

Publisher’s note

In these essays, based on a series of lectures given to the Buddhist Society in London, the author is at pains to point out that Man can function in two distinct modes which are as different from each other as Heaven and Hell. The truth of this lies not hidden away in esoteric works, nor does it require the mind of a scholar to discover , In fact it can be foun everywhere, but one must be sensitive to it, and able and willing to listen to its intimations. As they say in Zen ‘Not knowing how near the Truth is, people look for it far away…what a pity!’ Although the author makes frequent references to Zen Buddhism, he is in no way identified with this, or with any particular school of thought, for he holds that Reality is all-Comprehensive and needs a total, not sectarian, approach to embrace it.

The author elcidates in the course of his enquiry that Zen, shorn of its institutionalized practises, is essentially a pointer to an insight into the simple truth of living-a path, yet not of time, that is basically the same as the direct approach which has been so clearly indicates that the Zen experience is no different from the insight attained by such great religious men as Buddha, Christ, Krishna, Loa-tse and others.
