NOTES

Title from title frames

Delve into the two major Japanese schools of Zen. First, examine the direct approach of the Sōtō school, in which the practice of sitting and clearing the mind to a state of "nonthinking" is emphasized above intellectual exercises. Then, turn to the "pressure cooker" Rinzai approach, which focuses on kōans and examining the paradoxical nature of being to work towards enlightenment
