Nansen, Zen mediterrani. El despertar universal
Lluís Nansen Salas: Zen mediterrani. El despertar universal, Viena edicions, Barcelona, 2022.
The Japanese master Taisen Deshimaru brought Zen to Europe over half a century ago. In 1981, he held a retreat in Caldes de Montbui during what would be his only visit to Catalonia. Since then, Zen has continued to grow and develop in our country.
The philosophy and practices of Zen Buddhism, experienced through the lens of Mediterranean culture. Lluís Nansen Salas brings to our culture two of the most cherished texts of Zen Buddhism—The Heart Sutra and The Four Vows—in an adaptation that goes far beyond a simple translation. It is what we could call a “cultural translation,” as these texts have been sung in the intimacy of the Zen community in our land, ultimately blossoming into a way of living Zen that has taken root in us and in the society around us.
