A Unique Approach to the Study of Buddhism,
By
This review is from: One Korean's Approach to Buddhism: The Mom/Momjit Paradigm (Suny Series, Korean Studies) (Paperback)
This book represents a summary of the study, practice, and religious philosophy of a noted scholar of Buddhism after a long career. Park integrates his scholarly mastery of Buddhism with his own practice through the framework of the essence-function (Korean: Mom/Momjit) paradigm. Thus the discussion is taken up in a very personal manner, interspersed with anecdotes from the author's own experience as a student and teacher of Buddhism.
His views on the meaning and content of Buddhist practice are novel and refreshing, and his discussion of _hwadu_ meditation is a must-read for any serious _koan_ practitioner. Insights on Zen in general are extremely valuable. This book can easily be read and enjoyed by those with even a small amount of background in Buddhism, and would also work well in a college course on Buddhism or Zen. |
