Zen Buddhism for anybody Vol. 2

This book is a second hat, meant to be placed over the first one (which was already unnecessary).

Ultimately, no one should read this book for children, which will only bring you more confusion. The cover is white, but there’s a lot of mud dripping from the inside. I’ve only made it so that ‘anybody’ has a road to Zen.

If the first volume in this series can be seen as an abrupt introduction (like a crazy uncle who immediately throws you in the water, even before you can finish saying “I wish I could swim”), this volume is like a deep dive, reaching for an updated post-modern view on an ancient philosophy of consciousness and language.

Have you ever heard of the “Brazilian Jiu-jitsu”? Well, here is some Brazilian Zen! In it, a tropical pirate is shamefully opening vaults of stolen treasure, exposing the hidden secrets from ancient sages.

It includes the Diamond Sutra and the Maha-Rahulovada Sutra; excerpts from The Hagakure, the book of the samurai; records from master Joshu and all kinds of texts that influenced Zen Buddhism, that are part of its history, or that have flourished from it.
