Illuminating Silence: Insights on the Path of Chinese Zen Paperback by Master Shen-Yen and John Crook £2 OFF RRP

£2 OFF RRP

This book provides a clear and accessible introduction to Chan, or Chinese Zen, offering insight into teachings that are rarely shared outside dedicated retreat settings.

With roots in sixth century China, Chan Buddhism is known for its practical focus and adaptable approach to meditation. The core of the book is based on teachings given by Master Sheng Yen during retreats in Wales, presenting both the depth of the tradition and its relevance today.

Rather than focusing on abstract ideas, the emphasis is on direct experience, learning to observe the mind, develop awareness, and cultivate a sense of inner calm and clarity through regular practice.

Commentary from his student John Crook helps bring these teachings to life, explaining key meditation methods and sharing reflections that give a genuine sense of what it is like to take part in this kind of retreat.
