Zen & Eastern Religions explores the rich spiritual traditions and philosophies that originated in the East, focusing particularly on Zen Buddhism and its influence on contemporary thought and practice. Zen emphasizes direct experience, mindfulness, and meditation as key pathways to enlightenment, encouraging individuals to transcend conceptual thinking and connect with the present moment. This field examines the core teachings of Zen, such as the importance of the “present,” the role of koans (paradoxical questions or statements used in meditation), and the practices of seated meditation (zazen). It also delves into the broader Eastern religious landscape, including Hinduism, Taoism, and other forms of Buddhism, emphasizing their shared themes of inner peace, self-realization, and harmony with the universe. The study of Zen and Eastern religions highlights how these traditions offer unique approaches to spirituality that contrast with Western religious frameworks. These traditions often emphasize personal experience over doctrinal belief, focusing on the cultivation of wisdom, compassion, and self-discipline through practices like meditation, yoga, and mindfulness. They provide profound insights into the nature of the self, the impermanence of life, and the interconnectivity of all beings. As Eastern religions increasingly influence global spirituality, this field explores how Zen and other Eastern philosophies shape modern concepts of well-being, mental health, and the search for meaning in everyday life.


Not Always So: Practicing the True Spirit of Zen Book by Shunryū Suzuki (Farsi)
"Not Always So: Practicing the True Spirit of Zen" by Shunryū Suzuki is a collection of teachings and talks that offer a deeper understanding of Zen practice beyond the basics. Building on the ideas in his previous work, "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind," Suzuki explores how Zen is not just a set of practices but a way of life that involves fully embracing the present moment.

Suzuki encourages practitioners to let go of expectations, acknowledge their mistakes, and approach life with a sense of humility. Through simple yet profound insights, "Not Always So" provides readers with the tools to practice Zen in their everyday lives, helping them to engage with life more deeply and honestly.
