[Why Zen]
Among the many contemplative paths, why begin with Zen? A reflection on the reasons for a choice — and on how an ancient tradition can become useful, today, to all.
Il fruscìo
of a wheat field — readings for a Dharma in the present.
The Dharma has always changed as it crossed places and times: that is its way of being. Today it is changing again, but almost only in one direction — that of individual usefulness, of technique extracted from the ground that gave it meaning.
Il fruscìo (“the rustle”) grows out of a reading: some 360 books, read in full and given back here as reviews and reflections. It is a space open to anyone who reads from another discipline — mathematics, biology, art, philosophy — and has something to leave here. One small piece at a time.
