    Being Zen: Powerful and Transforming Book
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2014*

One of the most difficult aspects of the path is my own tendency to complicate life with judgments and the need to control. Bayda's book offers powerful advice on how to best deal with those issues. Just let things be. My favorite phrase from the book, "We can learn at home even in the midst of the muddy waters of our lives" is the basic wisdom of this book. Practice is where you are at any giving point of the day. Bayda's book Being Zen is an excellent guidebook on working on letting be rather than always trying to make things happen. The wisdom of looking at our difficulties as an opportunity to practice is profound as well. Bayda's chapter on how we construct our "substitute life" was also pertinent to me as well. As a public school administrator, it quickly became clear to me how much of what I do each day is shaped by conditioning, or decisions and choices made long ago when I became a teacher. Being aware means I am in touch with these which allows me to be more open in all aspects of my life. This book has so much wisdom in it, I am sure I'll be returning to it again and again.

    ZEN --- Coming to Terms...
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2011*

This book definitely dives a little deeper than other ZEN / Buddhism books I've read thus far.  Prior to this book, I read Steve Hagen's "Buddhism Plain and Simple" (I also just purchased his other title, "Buddhism Is Not What You Think" -- soon to be read)... I have to admit, Steve Hagen is much smoother, and more comprehensible in his writing style than Ezra, but now we're getting into personal preference. Either way, I may get another book on Ezra to feel him out further...I would like to add a few notes as I do with all of my reviews; the reason for this being -- if any new readers find my points interesting, then I'm doing my small part of bringing this material to light (prior to purchase).  I find this much more useful than going into the whole story about the book.*HIGHLIGHTS, that's what we need...1. To see things for what they are --Not to label `good' or `bad', but simply observe the existence of your feelings, doubts, fears, and all of the wonderful things around you as well.  This is the 1st step -- to SEE.  Don't hang onto certain feelings and look to eradicate others because they don't make you feel good, just notice your awareness to them.  To be in touch with `good', `bad', OR indifferent; and REALIZE they are just feelings, beliefs, etc.  Moreover, they are not the real YOU; they are just a small part of the "whole you".  In closing, your purpose is to experience the whole, and not get attached to the smaller fragments...2. All things come /go --(Including: our moods, frame of mind, even our worst feelings and thought).  All things change.  We must realize this truth and then allow these feelings to move on.  Do not cling to any of these emotions.  Rather, discern their existence, realize where they are coming from and allow them to pass. By practicing this exercise, you are allowing yourself not to get tied down, but to be freed instead...3. You can only learn so much in good times --Conversely, through pain, suffering, anger, and anxiety - we can learn a great deal indeed.  Instead of pushing these feelings away, we should embrace them as our teachers that have a lot to offer.  Pain is not suffering.  Pain simply IS & we must learn to acknowledge & accept this fact of life. When you finally succumb, and realize PAIN IS - then you understand that you shouldn't push away, for you cannot turn your back on your life, your path.  Also, at some point you surmise that pain allows you to feel compassion for others too. Ultimately, your heart opens to others who might be suffering.4. Hardships / Obstacles --These are simply `our path' at the present time.  With that said we must look at each obstacle and impediment openly and learn what we can through this process.  Lastly, we need strength to stay with this particular life and the present moment as it is, as oppose to always running from pain.  You cannot run away from life and turn a blind eye. To be present, to be truly present and mindful - we must look at life in its entirety.Be aware - be awake to all that is happening inside and around us...
