Product Overview
He built his shack in a small mountain town: Takamori. Shigeto Oshida, a Japanese Dominican, wanted to live as a hermit: a simple and poor contemplative life, close to his roots. Other people joined him and soon a few huts stood near his. Thus, in 1964, Takamori Soan was born. Very soon, visitors from all over the place began to arrive, eager to learn from him and share his lifestyle. And he instructed them in Zen, in small groups. Those who came to Father Oshida's ashram, Christian or not, Eastern or Western, learned in a very concrete way what it means for Zen to be the path to Reality and to live Reality. They discovered that this path goes through simple daily life and that whoever walks it does so in accordance with the mystery of their own faith, whatever it may be. This book, in its brevity, reflects the essentials of his teachings for our time that he taught above all with his own life and that, without a doubt, constitutes an important reference for everyone. -- Google translation of back of book.
