Title Presentation:Zen was uniquely suited to the Samurai of Japan. The high moral principles of Buddhism, when adopted and adapted by the Japanese warriors who became the Samurai, created an austere philosophy of singular beauty and depth. Its characteristic requirements of strict control over body and mind was exemplified by ancient warrior monks whose serene countenance, even in the face of certain death, made them much admired even by their foes.Zen may be the most misunderstood of the world's moral philosophies. While it is often classified as a Religion, it is frequently considered by its adherents to be a utilitarian philosophy, a collection of rational moral precepts or, even more simply, as a state of being. The aim of the practice of Zen is to become Enlightened and achieve the beatitude of Nirvana.To reach Nirvana means to achieve the state of extinction of pain and the annihilation of sin. Zen never looks for the realization of its beatitude in a place like heaven, nor believes in the realm of Reality transcendental of the phenomenal universe, nor gives countenance to the superstition of Immortality, nor does it hold the world is the best of all possible worlds, nor conceives life simply as blessing. It is in this life, full of shortcomings, misery, and sufferings, that Zen hopes to realize its beatitude. It is in this world, imperfect, changing, and moving, that Zen finds the Divine Light it worships. It is in this phenomenal universe of limitation and relativity that Zen aims to attain to highest Nirvana.Publisher's note for the printed edition: in order to be more enjoyable during reading, this book is in 6" x 9" format.

The freedom movement has taught countless people that human society does not need monarchs, politicians, bureaucrats, presidents, or government functionaries to operate. It has taught everyone that ideas should be accessible to the masses and that no one should have a monopoly on information. At its heart, this is what Dignity & Decency is about.Dignity and Decency is about unleashing the courage to challenge the status quo. Dignity & Decency is about sedition and treason, but also about warmth and compassion.Reviews: "Anarchy isn't about wearing masks or throwing bombs. It's about treating others with dignity and decency. For those lucky enough to know him, Sterlin Lujan has already been showing us by example. Now the rest of us can learn directly from his words collected in one place. Dignity and Decency is a great place to start for anyone interested in using voluntary human interaction to build a better world." -Roger Ver"In Dignity and Decency, Sterlin reminds those familiar with his work why his message is so memorable and so necessary at this moment. Readers who are new to his writing will have the joy of discovering his vision of compassionate anarchism - a world where rationality, morality, psychedelics, and anarchism collide. This collection introduces his insatiable desire to reduce violence and promote peace while offering practical solutions to those who can feel that something is amiss in our world. Sterlin has an inimitable ability to communicate the message of anarchism, simplify the intricacies of cryptocurrency, and explain the psychology of spanking in a way that tends to build bridges and open hearts. The world is better thanks to his articulations of the concepts of liberty." -Derrick BrozePublisher's note for the printed edition: in order to be more enjoyable during reading, this book is in 6" x 9" format.
