Zen in Touch: The Seven Factors of Living Happiness

Not a philosophical odyssey into the realm of what we can imagine about the kingdom of God or the realm of Nirvana, Zen in Touch, rather, is a spiritual journey that directs us individually to penetrate deeply into the miraculous world of self-realization by applying the techniques of Zen. As an essential handbook for practitioners covering both the theory and practice of Buddhist meditation, Zen in Touch, with its seven thought-provoking topics and seven factors of living happiness, offers the clearest guidance regarding how readers may reach the state of Nirvana--true happiness--in one's daily life by liberating the great potentials of the Buddha nature from inner bondage and the hindrances of the impure mind. This comprehensive guide is for everyone who wishes to get in touch with the base of Nirvana, not in the life after death but in the present moment, the flowing current of reality in which no concept of time such as yesterday or tomorrow can be found, only the true current of the here and now.
