Foreword / by Dr. Paula Arai -- Rattling the bones -- Preparing the sanctuary for ritual -- Making offerings to the ancestors -- Prolonged rituals of seeing and listening -- Chanting spells -- Rituals of celebration and initiation -- Offering gratitude -- Afterword -- Chants created by Zenju Earthlyn Manuel -- Guidelines for entering, abiding, and departing long meditation retreats and sesshins.
"In The Shamanic Bones of Zen, celebrated author and Buddhist teacher Zenju Earthlyn Manuel undertakes a rich exploration of the connections between contemporary Zen practice and shamanic, or indigenous, spirituality. Drawing on her personal journey with the black church, with African, Caribbean, and Native American ceremonial practices, and with Nichiren and Zen Buddhism, she builds a compelling case for discovering and cultivating the shamanic, or magical, elements in Buddhism—many of which have been marginalized by colonialist and modernist forces in the religion. The book conveys guidance for readers interested in developing practices of ritual in their own lives, such as preparing a sanctuary, engaging in chanting practices, and deepening embodiment within ceremony."--Page 4 of cove.
