Correcting Zen: Reforming Buddhist Practice According To Lost Buddhist Principles - 9781737032021

When Buddhism first arose within India it espoused a number of the best meditation and inner energy cultivation techniques of its day. However, many of the principles behind these practices have become lost over time. When Buddhism first entered China and the majority of its teachings were still untranslated, a large number of practitioners were still able to attain enlightenment without depending upon its sutras or dharma because those individuals primarily relied on just two cultivation techniques that had been transmitted: anapana breath work and the white skeleton bone visualization practice. Buddhism today rarely produces enlightened sages because it is missing this prior emphasis not just on inner energy work and breathing practices but visualization techniques, advanced mantrayana, stretching exercises, Buddha vows and self-rectification. This work helps to restore many of the lost principles for these practices that were responsible for Buddhism's previous great successes in producing countless enlightened adepts. These instructions of highly effective enlightenment practices are for the benefit of all people, of all traditions and religions, who are seeking spiritual attainments and who desire the quickest pathway of sequential steps and practices for attainment.
