About the Book

Ama Samy describes the essential dimensions of Awakening. "Awakening is itself beyond discursive explanations. But without language and understanding, the experience of Awakening will be lost like water poured on desert sands. Language and understanding are necessary to articulate one's experience, to deepen it, and to realize it -- to make it real and actual."
About the Author: Ama Samy is a Zen master and Jesuit priest from India. He was born to Christian parents in Burma, 1936. There, early on he had some contact with Burmese Buddhism. Driven by poverty, his parents put him in the care of his maternal grandfather in India, a devotee of a Muslim saint. Soon after his grandfather died in an accident, leaving him as a young boy without support and guidance. Nevertheless, he finished school and joined the Jesuits. After becoming a Jesuit priest, his heart was still restless after God. He began visiting Hindu ashrams and Buddhist meditation centers. He was introduced to Ramana Maharshi by Swami Abhishiktananda and was moved by Ramana's vision. His searching led him to become a wandering beggar for a period and to settle down as a hermit near a holy shrine where the village people fed him. Ultimately, it was the Zen way which drew him most. With the help of Fr. Enomiya Lassalle, he visited Japan and trained with Yamada Koun Roshi of Sanbo Kyodan. In 1982, Yamada Roshi authorized him to teach Zen. Ama Samy later founded his own Zen school, Bodhi Sangha. His method of teaching embraces both Soto and Rinzai Zen traditions and draws from the resources of Christianity and other religions. He remains true to Christ, true to Zen, and true to the human heart-mind. He lives and teaches at Bodhi Zendo Zen Center in southern India and spends several months each year leading retreats in Europe, Australia and the US.
