SummaryEverybody has their own idea of what paradise consists of. Freedom from the confines of the labor force, a tropical vacation with endless beaches and relaxing afternoon naps, a spending spree with no bill in sight, and streaming chocolate with an edible rowboat have all been described to me as “paradise” by different people. My own vision of it just so happens to consist of one week without a single obligation; location and other details are of no concern to me. Brad Warner’s Hardcore Zen: Punk Rock, Monster Movies & the Truth about Reality challenges this concept of paradise with Buddhist insight, instead suggesting that utopia is never satisfying, as it can never be realized. The Beat writers, notable for their Buddhist and spiritual themes, have much to say about ideal existence and their own versions of paradise.
Table of Contents
- In his rather frank introduction to Hardcore Zen, Warner doesn't waste any time in sharing his own beliefs about utopia.
- Hardcore Zen is the author's own intimate account of his quest to find meaning in life as he lives it.
- I did not grow up with any religion in my life, but in high school, both of my closest friends had heavily religious families.
- At some point, I began to think that the Buddhist ideology Warner was describing seemed a bit depressing.
- One of my favorite things about Hardcore Zen is that it is very honest.
- His beliefs are laid of in a brutally honest fashion on paper.
