Description
Walking the Way affirms that, like yin and yang, the flowing spontaneity of Tao and the precise simplicity of Zen find perfect balance with one another. Robert Meikyo Rosenbaum brings the two traditions together in a unique presentation that elicits Zen insights from his fresh interpretation of verses from the Taoist classic, the Tao Te Ching. Personal anecdotes illustrate the dynamic potential of Rosenbaum's approach, skillfully revealing Zen within the Tao and the Tao of Zen. Not only does the author reveal the elegance of each tradition, he shows how their interrelatedness does, in fact, have import on our meditative practices and on our day-to-day lives. Parenting, meditating, dealing with setbacks and illnesses--Walking the Way shows us how to live well in the midst of many complex demands, finding harmony and equilibrium between honing in and letting go, balance between being ourselves and selflessly serving others.

Review
"Deftly written essays, snapshot vignettes of daily life lived with emotion and depth, and a poetic version of the Tao Te Ching backed by a lifetime of spiritual practice--these are the elements of a text that will inspire and awaken you like the sound of water or the calm voice of a friend. This book is to be savored." (Norman Fischer, author of Taking Our Places: The Buddhist Path to Truly Growing Up)
"Robert Rosenbaum manages to restore some of the bite to the Tao Te Ching. His humor, wisdom, personal struggles, and genuine aspirations combine to make it new and make it speak to us with live words." (Barry Magid, author of Ordinary Mind)
"Walking the Way is deeply thoughtful and eminently practical." (Elana Rosenbaum, author of Here for Now)
"In a world already brim-full of translations of the Tao Te Ching, one would think that there isn't room for one more. Walking the Way, however, should immediately put such reservations at rest. To read these lovely and tender versions of this breathtaking text is in itself a process of questioning the 'givens' of one's life. Combined with the profound and provocative Zen-based commentary of Robert Rosenbaum, they fold seamlessly into a book that is indispensable to any true seeker's roadmap for the path." (Chris Faatz, Powell's Books)
"This charming book is an oasis of truth, compassion, laughter, and beauty. Welcome!" (Michael F. Hoyt, author of Brief Psychotherapies)
"A book full of wisdom--a gentle breeze, pointing you in new directions." (Arthur C. Bohart, author of How Clients Make Therapy Work)
"A warm, thoughtful companion for life's journey." (Peter Levitt, poet and author of Fingerpainting on the Moon)
"Fresh and poetic. A wonderful book that brings the Tao Te Ching up close. In sharing his open-hearted love of these verses, Rosenbaum gives them to us anew, as if Lao Tzu were speaking directly to us through him." (Susan Moon, author of This Is Getting Old: Zen Thoughts on Aging with Humor and Dignity)
"A pearl of wisdom, filled with deep insights to the most fundamental issues we all encounter in our lives. You will find the truth in every paragraph, in every page of this book." (Moshe Talmon, author of Single Session Therapy) --이 텍스트는 대체 kindle_edition 에디션을 참조합니다.

Robert Rosenbaum
Robert Rosenbaum, Ph.D., began Zen practice in 1971. Between 1989 and 2010 he studied with his root teacher, Sojun Mel Weitsman. After receiving lay entrustment from Sojun, with his encouragement Bob established the Meadowmind sangha in the Sierra foothills and participated as a founding member of the Lay Zen Teachers’ Association. He has taught at numerous sanghas in the United States, Australia and Finland; in 2019 he received denkai in Ordinary Mind Zen from Karen Terzano.
Bob found a natural complement to Zen in the Taoist practice of Dayan (Wild Goose) Qigong as taught by Master Hui Liu in the lineage of Grandmaster Yang Meijun. In 1991 Master Liu authorized Bob as a teacher; at her request he brought Dayan Qigong to numerous venues in the USA and around the world. He continues to teach master classes and train teachers at the Wen Wu school in El Cerrito.
After receiving his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology in 1980 he divided his time between clinical neuropsychology, brief psychotherapy and behavioral medicine. He was a Fulbright Professor at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences in India. Working at Kaiser Permanente with his colleagues Moshe Talmon and Michael Hoyt he pioneered groundbreaking work on Single Session Psychotherapy; working with colleagues in Neurology and Medicine he innovated programs in mind-body medicine, including qigong and meditation programs for patients with chronic pain.
Bob’s books include Zen and the Heart of Psychotherapy; Walking the Way: 81 Zen Encounters with the Tao Te Ching; What's Wrong with Mindfulness - and what isn’t (co-edited with Barry Magid) and, most recently, That Is Not Your Mind! - Zen Reflections on the Surangama Sutra.
Bob currently lives and practices in Sacramento, California with his sweetheart/wife/dharma partner and fellow qigong teacher, Jeanne Courtney.

Mar 05, 2016Claire rated it really liked it
This was what I was reading at the time as I fully transitioned from secular atheist to "well, okay, the zen mindfulness exercises really do calm me down and make me feel better... let's say Buddhist until further notice" Taoist or Confucianist. It's all the same in the end. We're all seriously just people here, and this actually helps me improve.
Te is what I found most interesting.
The literature is kind of out there.. But honestly, I have concrete proof that when I "ground" myself with a zen meditation or the like, concentration and everything else comes much easier! (less)

Shelves: abandoned
Lightweight and utterly forgettable. Read ~40 pages leaving almost no impression whatsoever, so set aside.
