Manual Of Zen Buddhism 與 Fable 使用情況與統計

If you are interested in becoming a Buddhist, are already a Buddhist but need to go back to the roots or merely curious to as what Buddhism exactly is, then this app is just right for you. Buddhism is a religion to about 300 million people around the world. The word comes from 'budhi', 'to awaken'. It has its origins about 2,500 years ago when Siddhartha Gotama, known as the Buddha, was himself awakened (enlightened) at the age of 35. 
Buddhism Guide offers you a superb overview of the teachings of the Buddha, as well as a succinct guide to the integration of Buddhism into daily life. Buddhism started with the Buddha. The word ‘Buddha' is a title, which means ‘one who is awake' - in the sense of having ‘woken up to reality'. The Buddha was born as Siddhartha Gautama in Nepal around 2,500 years ago. He did not claim to be a god or a prophet. He was a human being who became Enlightened, understanding life in the deepest way possible. Zen Buddhism, zazen is a meditative discipline that is typically the primary religious practice.The precise meaning and method of zazen varies from school to school, but in general it can be regarded as a means of insight into the nature of existence. In the Japanese Rinzai school, zazen is usually associated with the study of koans. The Sōtō School of Japan, on the other hand, only rarely incorporates koans into zazen, preferring an approach where the mind has no object at all, known as shikantaza. The purpose of Buddha's teachings is to show you the nature of the human mind, your human potential and how you can develop further. Moreover, this method does not emphasise blind belief in, rather than understanding of, metaphysical processes. However, whether you are religious or non- religious, or a believer or a non-believer, the important thing is to know the nature of your own mind.
