UNFOLDING THE EIGHTFOLD PATH: A CONTEMPORARY ZEN PERSPECTIVE documents the author's study of the Fourth Noble Truth, from his first encounter as a young man, throughout his life as a Zen practitioner, and into his elderhood.

This work presents a unique interpretation of the dynamic nature of the “right” elements of right view, thought, effort, concentration, mindfulness, speech, action, and livelihood.
Nine distinctive explanations for each of the elements explore an evolutionary view of their dynamic change from conceptual knowledge to liberating thought.

With astute clarification, this work offers an in-depth view for engaging the Eightfold Path
at any stage of a practitioner's experience. It offers a map for the transformational outcome of dedicated study, practice, and integration of the Fourth Noble Truth.

UNFOLDING THE EIGHTFOLD PATH demonstrates how to create coherent order out of the insights of a lifetime of practice.

Quotes

  • Daria Zaytsevahas quoted4 years ago
    like a hologram, it provides several viewpoints at one time. The chart encapsulates a large amount of information. At first glance, it may appear impenetrable with its many components.
  • Daria Zaytsevahas quoted4 years ago
    As my practice matured and my understanding of the teaching deepened, I found that the first set of right elements was not replaced by the generation of the second set. Rather, the first set was incorporated into the second set and so on, producing, when viewed as a sum, a holographic image of how the right elements manifest, interact, and evolve in the course of a lifetime of practice.

    systematic approach to the problem of suffering.
