A Zen Buddhist perspective on the universal flow of cosmic energy

and how to incorporate that energy into one's life and spiritual practice--from one of the most revered figures in American Zen.

A Zen Buddhist perspective on the universal flow of cosmic energy and how to incorporate that energy into one's life and spiritual practice

The universe is alive with a dynamic energy that creates and sustains our lives. It surrounds us, flows through us, and is available to us in every moment. Spiritual practice, according to revered American Zen teacher Dainin Katagiri Roshi, is about aligning ourselves with this ever-present life force-sometimes referred to as chi, qi, orki.

This collection, edited from Roshi's talks, focuses on cosmic energy as it relates to all aspects of Zen practice. With references to classic texts and personal stories that bring the teachings to life,The Light That Shines through Infinityis also a powerful antidote to the notion that practice is in some way about transcending the world around us. It is in fact about nothing other than relating to it compassionately and whole-heartedly.
