there are Taoist monasteries in the US?? I have literally been endlessly researching trying to find some all day yesterday and today, and then I see this comment...how auspicious ! Blessings to you !
My natural reaction was not to want to be the best horse It was for horses not to be whipped at all. Thank you for uploading this for it came at a point in my life when I needed to hear these words of wisdom the most.
simply the best book ive read in 50 years. rereading or listening to this book every now and then or in bursts gives up so much helpfulness in attitude no matter what your background as this is not a dogma.
Wow! This is LIFE CHANGING! I feel so lucky to have found this! I’m already on my 2nd listen. I find much like many other great works such as the Tao or the way…..each time I listen the more I learn a new aspect of the concept
Good luck with your practice too. I find it difficult to do regular meditation, and often do chi gung instead. But to listen to the words is not to follow the words. Ironically we have to take the action to commit to non-action to find the peace and contentment.
Two points: 1] To give appropriate credit where credit is due, this is the Audible version of ZMBM, read by Peter Coyote. 2] Moreover, the audiobook is *not* complete/unabridged. It is missing about a dozen chapters from the print edition of the book. [Update: In addition to the twelve chapters missing from the body of the book, the Audible audiobook also omits the following sections: - Preface (by Huston Smith) - Introduction (by Richard Baker) ]

Few take up meditation and therapists don't either. They are clueless of other paths and have an expert mind. The client is the patient. Not an equal relationship. Samatha and visspassina.
I read broadly on Zen, and later became a Christian. I'm now coming back to Zen because it is too easy in the material world, even with spiritual practice, to get tied up with concepts and illusion. I doubt if I'll stop being a Christian, but I must return to that naturalness and peace and release of desire that I could find only in Zen (and indeed I have studied Taoism, but for me Zen is a practical form of Taoism.. Taoism being the theory, Zen living it).
I'm a Jew, but I'm finding new meaning in Jewish practices by learning Buddhist practices, in the way that you come to appreciate certain aspects about your home country while visiting or living in another one. I was listening to Ekhart Tolle's book, The Power of Now, and his emphasis on being present at all times, and it struck me that the myriad of Jewish laws and rabbinic prescriptions (which are typically treated like laws)--which most people find too complicated and numerous to keep--actually keep you focused and grounded in the now. Like this book talking about focusing yourself on proper posture and breathing while standing and sitting, Jewish law makes you focus on proper action throughout the day. There are also a lot of holidays with different requirements, and even every new month has special requirements. It makes it hard to fall into a rut or, as I am wont to do, live very consistently and resent anything and everything that breaks the daily pattern of life in any small way. The Jewish calendar keeps everything churning and Jewish practice makes you act consciously throughout the day so you can't zone out and live automatically (making your past the present by repeating actions). I heard a rabbi say some years ago that Buddhism has become so popular in Israel, people jokingly call practitioners BuJews. But it looks to me like it's just a different way of achieving the same thing--rather like this book started out talking about how we need to keep a beginner's mind.
Thinking causes separation from the moment. Everything that exist exist in the moment, each moment. Thinking can not occur in the moment. True love appears in the moment. Seeing everything as it is happens in the moment. Being can only happen in the moment. Breath happens or stops in the moment with or without a self. Thinking is a part of who we are. Awareness is another. Knowing,loving, being appear in quiet stillness. Practice, practice,practice
AI just doesn’t contain the quality, energy and realness of the human voice. Deep gratitude to Peter coyote, and all those who take the time and offer their love in reading these words!
I live in the universe and You live on earth.Breathing is the Air network 👉🏾from universal to humans.Our ancestors wireless telephone or telepathic communication.I communicating with You on earth by Air.. By breathing in is receiving the call and by sending out the message is by breathing out .
Well, to put it in Christian terms, unless you become again as a child, you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Be light hearted, find wonder in a flowers petals and magic in Birds flying, you are dining at the Biddhas, table🙂
Amd what is achieved by Zen? Literally nothing. No thing. Now you know what the Zen masters know and I didn't take your money or your time. You're welcome.

You are welcome to visit anytime!
We are in Snohomish, Washington.
Let me know if you would like to come by, or to train! 😄
I come back to this every now and Zen.
Good one :)
That was very witty. Are you here all week?
You have reached golden humor status.
Thanks to Peter Coyote for this outstanding reading
Certainly one of the most life changing books I have ever enjoyed. Overflowing with simple and profound wisdom. Simply a joy to listen to.
My natural reaction was not to want to be the best horse
It was for horses not to be whipped at all.

I love this book.. So simple and well communicated..

This is a wonderful book! Such a soothing and inspirational voice. Thank you.
This is an incredible audiobook to meditate to, I love coming back
Was able to cry for the first time in a few months while listening.
I always end up back here when its too much. Then I forget and go out there and fall i to the same traps, then im back here.
You are not alone 😂
It's a religion in that way
Hope you are doing well 🫠
Thank you for posting this. Posture, just this.
Thank you for this presentation of these insightful wisdoms: may they embed humanity with peaceful empowerment of our true nature.

i listened to this book 100s of times
Hold your self to high standards and also forgive yourself for shortcomings. You will find balance in between the chaos and calm
Very interesting
Glad you think so!

Thanks Peter 😊
The abridged versions of books shouldn't be uploaded. Who says which chapters are less important?

One of my favorites

So true
Just breathe
Everything else follows
Being a therapist is not worse than anything else. There are many ways onto the path
Thank you for sharing this beautiful knowledge

The practice is as hard or as easy as you make it. Don't let this guy tell you otherwise.

Part 3: 2:06:23 - Right Understanding
Only when you seize to strive, fir anything, will you realise that youre there, allready. 😮
No gaining idea is the whole teaching - whatever we do, we do for its own sake, not for what we might gain.
Most especially as we sit. Everything is absolutely perfect as it is. There is no thing to gain

Who narrates this? I've heard him on an audio book about Peyote
Peter Coyote
Darth Bane trilogy? Sounds pretty similar
It's Peter Peyote, the cacti connoisseur
The reader sounds like Peter Coyote, to me.
It is
