Zen Sex: The Way of Making Love

By Philip Toshio Sudo

Book Overview

Zen philosophy tells us that the great truth of the universe applies to all things at all times. Every moment of life, from guitar playing to working at the computer, to making love, offers a chance for Zen realization. Just awaken to that truth, Zen masters say; how and where do not matter. Sex offers the same opportunity for enlightenment as anything else. Zen Sex guides readers to the realization of that opportunity with The Ten Stages of Zen Sex and The Six Principles in the Way of Making Love. Philip Sudo reminds our sex-obsessed age that not only is sex a fundamentally spiritual endeavour, it is indeed sacred.

This elegant, gorgeous book will appeal not only to Zen practitioners, but to any one looking for enlightenment and spirituality in all aspects of life.

Great gift potential.

Good for the sex book audience, Zen practitioners and readers looking for meaningful sex.

While there are quite a few books that deal with spirituality and sex from the Tantric and Taoist tradition, no other book has brought together Zen and sex.

Easy-to-do practices help readers learn and experience Zen sex.

Customer Reviews

Resolving the disparity between sexuality and spirituality...

Although dogmatic practitioners of Zen may be offended by this book, and may even revile it (as other reviews show), those who embrace the spirit of Zen (in what I believe is its innate radicalness) are likely to find great refreshment and depth in this book. Sudo writes with great clairty of mind and vastness of heart, and helps to resolve the painful disparity (which many spiritual practitioners face) between spirituality and sexuality. For anyone who wishes to bring greater depth, integrity, and compassion to their sex life and to their spiritual practice, I wholeheartely recommend this delightful book, and I thank Philip Sudo for his gift to myself and to all beings who are fortunate enough to read it.

Masterfully written!

A wonderful resource for anyone interested in integrating spiritual practices into their sexuality/sensuality. Written in a clear and concise manner that is easily digestable. I recommend this book without reservation as great reading and a fabulous resource.

You, who is on the Path, will discover a whole world of pleasure and joy. You, who enjoys sex and love, will be able to touch an old wisdom of zen. This will change your life. I promise that and this book helps you.
