The Zen master takes a seat at the front of the meditation hall and is approached by students, one by one, who challenge the master with questions. The Zen master challenges them in return, and the pithy, energetic exchanges become a teaching for all involved. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eCave of Tigers\u003c\/i\u003e is proof that the ancient practice of dharma combat is alive and well in American Zen. It consists of records of actual dharma combat sessions between John Daido Loori Roshi and his students at Zen Mountain Monastery. The highly charged encounters range from koan-like exchanges to practical discussions of meditation, Buddhist philosophy, and the always-pertinent issue of bringing spiritual practice into everyday life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Daido Loori\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shambhala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/10\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Dharma Communications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 5.96w x 0.68d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590305652","brand":"Shambhala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42711373381769,"sku":"9781590305652","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_621180f1-1cf6-45dc-bcc2-c048db30e424.jpg?v=1719568282","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/cave-of-tigers-the-living-zen-practice-of-dharma-combat-9781590305652","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
