Instead, by making a purposeful "One-mistake" of "unknown knowing", this book remains consistent with the analytic unconscious and continues in the splendid tradition of Bodhidharma who did not know "Who" he was and told Emperor Wu that there was no merit in building temples for Buddhism.Both traditions converge on the teaching that "true subject is no ego", or on the realisation that a new subject requires the symbolic death or deconstruction of imaginary ego-identifications. Although Lacanian psychoanalysis is known for its focus on language and Zen is considered a form of transmission outside the scriptures, Zen is not without words while Lacanian psychoanalysis stresses the senseless letter of the Real or of a jouissance written on and with the body. The Signifier Pointing at the Moon proposes that the truths of desire do not conflict with the teaching of emptiness because a desire for emptiness, or the emptiness at the root of desire, regenerates rather than annihilates desire."--Provided by publisher. 606 $aPsychoanalysis 606 $aZen Buddhism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPsychoanalysis. 615 0$aZen Buddhism. 676 $a150.195 676 $a616.8917 700 $aMoncayo$b Raul$0853987 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462443803321 996 $aThe signifier pointing at the moon$91906642 997 $aUNINA
