INTRODUCTION

––––––––

Let’s begin with a Kōan:

Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen.

Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring.

The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. It is overfull. No more will go in!

Like this cup, Nan-in said, you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?

While reading, make an effort to empty your cup; an empty cup will allow this book to fulfill its purpose.

"The true purpose of Zen is to see things as they are, to observe things as they are, and to let

everything go as it goes. Zen practice is to open up our small mind."  ~Shunryu Suzuki

Zen Gaming and the Art of Electronic Sports is designed to revolutionize the way you approach gaming. It will enhance your natural talents, connect you to elite gamers, teach you new abilities and ancient secrets, empower you with a winning play style, and help you uncover the greatness hidden within.

You will learn how to play without stress and this will improve your focus and endurance. When you play without stress, tension does not build up in the body/mind, and you will feel relaxed even in intense combative situations. This relaxed style of play eliminates miss-clicks, rage, improves tactical decision making, and allows you to quickly level up your overall gaming ability.

True results will come with persistence, patience and dedication.

The art of gaming will also help you reach the highest tiers, leagues, and ladders. And if you’re already at the top it will give new perspective that will further develop your abilities. There is always room for improvement no matter your level or talent.
