Story4.5 out of 5 stars 24
In The Shamanic Bones of Zen, celebrated author and Buddhist teacher Zenju Earthlyn Manuel undertakes a rich exploration of the connections between contemporary Zen practice and shamanic, or indigenous, spirituality. Drawing on her personal journey with the Black church, with African, Caribbean, and Native American ceremonial practices, and with Nichiren and Zen Buddhism, she builds a compelling case for cultivating the shamanic, or magical, elements in Buddhism - many of which have been marginalized by colonialist and modernist forces in the religion.

This teaching entered my heart entirely.

I’m not a practitioner of Zen Buddhism yet, but the way this author puts language to the possibilities of practice is deeply inspiring. I also struck by how the inner experience of “transmission” is described. This book is for anyone looking to improve their embodiment for healing or otherwise, especially people of color.
