摘要

Continuing from the previous chapter: the Buddha’s teachings were eventually split up into various schools, so this chapter focuses on some topics from Buddhist schools (primarily Zen Buddhism). Zen Buddhism is covered due to its emphasis on being a “direct school” and offering more direct paths to enlightenment/improving mental health. Kōans, Zazen, and Shikantaza are areas of primary focus in this chapter. Overall, Zen offers a unique set of teachings and another path that can culminate with the realization of ultimate reality.
