Bringing the Sacred to Life: The Daily Practice of Zen Ritual (Dharma Communications) Paperback – March 11, 2008

How does one stay in focus in a busy life? Practice the liturgy daily. This book will keep your everyday life on track. There are many books out there, this one is one you should keep close at hand.

Bringing the Sacred to Life opens the imaginary door between ordinary life and the sacred. John Daido Loori speaks to the heart of the matter. This book inpired and challenged me. Not just for Zen students, Bringing the Sacred to Life breaks through duality for all readers, those who practice Buddhism and those who don't.

It is simply and wonderfully written. I've always loved it and now, having it everywhere I go on my kindle makes it even more personal

The titles and composition of books I search for are not always available. You have made many possibilities happen for me and loved ones. Thank you for your kind, prompt service!

As a professional Celebrant, the idea of sanctifying daily life is very appealing. This is a lovely and serene book, very useful for reminding myself of my 'other life' in times of stress.

Small little book with a great deal of value. Beyond being a good read, as all of Daido Roshi's books, this book sits in my altar as a reference for the wonderful liturgies contains.

I have read some of Loori's books and was very pleased with them. I was hoping this would explain the altar ritual in a more concrete way.

Mi aspettavo un testo che insegnasse a portare lo spirito dello Zen nella vita quotidiana, ma non ho trovato quello che cercavo. Utile per vedere che, anche nello Zen, c'è una liturgia

A valuable resource for serious zen students who cannot attend a group..However it is important to note that this is the same book as 'Celebrating Everyday Life ~ Zen Home Liturgy' by the same author except that this is a full size book

Excellent book for all those interested in Buddhism and particularly Zen
