Back Cover text
Zen ritual is a way of acknowledging and celebrating the sacredness in all things. Here, the Zen master John Daido Loori demystifies the elements of the Zen liturgy, revealing their true meaning and purpose. Each ritual act such as chanting, bowing, or offering incense, is a revelation of the sacred not only in the liturgy itself, but in every other moment of our lives.
John Daido Loori is the spiritualleader and abbot of the Zen Mountain Monastery in Mt. Tremper, New York, and founder of the Mountains and Rivers Order of Zen. He is the author of numerous books, including The True Dharma Eye.
"Liturgy contains a profound secret that is constantly being revealed in the eighty-four thousand subtle gestures that make up our practice. It is the secret to world peace, the secret to social transformation, to ecological harmony, to marriage and relationship, the secret to raising children, dancing, chopping wood, carrying water. It;s no small thing by any measure, so please don't take it lightly." - John Daido Loori
