At the same time modern American Buddhists often find it difficult to integrate zazen seated Zen meditation with lives of family work and social engagement. This book offers a fascinating guide to overcoming both these dilemmas. A study of how one Zen group returned to an ancient Chinese tradition of community meditation practice without a leader or hierarchy this book also outlines an authentic "grassroots" approach urging people from all walks of life to come together in meditation and the study of dharma. Grassroots Zen focuses on the challenge of truly becoming one with the moment in our frantically paced society; of finding a space for the passing self; and of achieving balance between Zen practice and daily life as well as individuality in community. A thoughtful and absorbing work Grassroots Zen is an important book for those seeking a practice that is truly of the people by the people and for the people." ; AS NEW Boston ; Rutland, VT ; Tokyo : Tuttle Publishing Company, 2001. hardcover

What is furigana and why is it so important Furigana refers to the small kana that are printed above or alongside kanji to show the pronunciation of the Chinese character. With furigana superscripts the beginner who is familiar with hiragana and katakana is able to read even the most difficult and obscure kanji at a glance. Other dictionaries either provide little or no guide to kanji readings or romanize some or all of the Japanese words and sentences. In the past romanized dictionaries were of some value to students using textbooks that contained no Japanese script. Now however an increasing number of influential curricula around the world are based on a rationale and methodology that demands the introduction of hiragana and katakana from the earliest stages. Learners and their teachers studying under such curricula will inevitably feel more comfortable with a dictionary such as Kodansha's Furigana English-Japanese Dictionary one that shows the pronunciation of kanji with familiar and authentic kana script." ; AS NEW This listing contains text in Japanese JIS fo nts æ±äº¬ï¼š 講談社インターナショナル ; New York ; London ; Tokyo : Kodansha International, 2001. unknown
