Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Innovative Zen masters, often disguised as drifters or beggars, challenge conventional spirituality through their unorthodox behavior. This book explores the lives of these "boat-rockers" and rebels from 8th-century China to contemporary America, illustrating how their actions redefine the radical Buddhist movement. Their stories emphasize that spiritual awakening is a rebellious act against the foundations of suffering, highlighting the interconnectedness of personal growth and societal change.
