Centering
Zen Flesh, Zen Bones
Book •
Paul Reps' contribution titled 'Centering' appears in his anthology 'Zen Flesh, Zen Bones' and presents a free, poetic rendering inspired by the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra's techniques.
The piece helped introduce Western readers to these tantric practices in an accessible, nonliteral form.
Reps studied with Kashmiri teachers and adapted material into succinct, practice-oriented passages.
His rendering influenced later popular books that drew on the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra's list of techniques.
The work occupies a notable place in mid-20th-century Western receptions of Eastern spiritual texts.
