"Singing and Dancing Are the Voice of the Law introduces us to one of the great works of Zen literature, the Song of Zazen. Zen teacher Busshō Lahn illuminates Hakuin Ekaku's enigmatic poem in plain language, unpacking it and applying it to contemporary life. His book offers a wealth of information on the context and content of this 18th-century work, clearly evoking its themes of abiding wisdom, meditation, compassionate self-regard, and our own everyday life's potential to express deep spiritual truth. Short stanza by short stanza, this exceptionally readable and deeply engaging book shows how the Song of Zazen's teachings and invitations are as applicable now as they were when it was written nearly three centuries ago. Lahn offers readers an intuitive and progressive path of exploration of their spiritual lives, regardless of their faith tradition"-- Provided by publisher.
