We can use whatever life presents, Ezra Bayda teaches, to
strengthen our spiritual practice—including the turmoil of daily
life. What we need is the willingness to just be with our
experiences—whether they are painful or pleasing—opening ourselves
to the reality of our lives without trying to fix or change
anything. But doing this requires that we confront our most deeply
rooted fears and assumptions in order to gradually become free of
the constrictions and suffering they create. Then we can awaken to
the loving-kindness that is at the heart of our being.
While many books aspire to bring meditation into everyday
experience, Being Zen gives us practical ways to actually
do it, introducing techniques that enable the reader to foster
qualities essential to continued spiritual awakening. Topics
include how to cultivate:
• Perseverance: staying with
anger, fear, and other distressing emotions.
• Stillness: abiding with chaotic
experiences without becoming overwhelmed.
• Clarity: seeing through the
conditioned beliefs and fears that “run” us.
• Direct experience:
encountering the physical reality of the present moment—even when
that moment is exactly where we don't want to be.
Like Pema Chödrön, the best-selling author of When Things Fall
Apart, Ezra Bayda writes with clear, heartfelt simplicity,
using his own life stories to illustrate the teachings in an
immediate and accessible way that will appeal to a broad spectrum
of readers.
