ZEN: For Personal Development - Zen Teachings (Udemy.com)

As a Zen Master this course really resonated with me. Professor Paul is a great teacher with a great sense of humor. Sometimes when I teach my students, I can complicate the true meaning of Zen. This course has shown me that I need to cut thru the layers and get to the core of Zen. I highly recommend this class.

This was a very enjoyable course. I am a retired Social Worker and have been practicing Buddhism for many years. A lot of the content was familiar to me but there is always something new which we can learn from, and there was. I think for people who are new to this, it would be absolutely invaluable. Thank you so much for putting it all together!

Zen philosophy explained in a simple way and adding some elements of personal experience for more clarity. A philosophy that worked for millions over thousands of years. Adding concepts from psychology makes this course useful for therapists, counselors and anyone who is interested in growth of self and others. Thanks and Gratitude to Prof. Paul Cline

I liked much of the content of the course as a kind of 'Zen and the Art of Human Mentality' tour of the mind and the methods it uses to inhibit our potential. I also found the instructor clear and to the point in his delivery. What was missing for me was any sense of compassion for those struggling with these schemes, and I found it hard to absorb the material at times, because of the mechanical and sometimes throwaway approach.

I found the lack of mention and acknowledgement of source Zen teachers and teachings and its foundations disappointing. It seems almost disrespectful of the cultural background somehow. It's really way more 'self development' than it is Zen. However, that part of it is explained fluidly and confidently, and might be useful if you are new to psychological ways of reflecting on yourself and looking for some frameworks.

Course was GOOD, a bit short of Amazing but definitely not nearly Above Expectations as the Instructor harped too much on Zen (& a few of it's short comings which unnerved me), not blending with True Mysticism which takes it to greater heights. However, the Instructor does have quite a few catchy anecdotes, catch phrases to make it worth while a bit. But like I said, course is GOOD yet short of Amazing!

This course is amazing. The instructor uses an easy to understand vocabulary and clear english. Besides that the instructor is so positive that he literally infects your mind with positive thinking. Now the Zen philosophy is something i wish i would have studied earlier... i've been trough a lot of pain in this life due to my belief system. And i started this course on a saturday night. I could not sleep at all that night or the next night because i started enjoying life and above all my improper belief system started to literally fall apart. Nothing ever got me thinking so bad than this course. Now my mind is under reconstruction... i am learning to live in the here and now. It's like at 32 years old i am basically discovering how to live. Special thanks to the instructor for this amazing material. Another thing that i like is that this course has concentrated information, it spares me from bla bla bla. Dear instructor: keep up the great work!!!

Prof. Cline describes everything about Zen in great detail. Implementing the knowledge gained in this course in daily life can really change it definitely for the better. I highly encourage anyone to enroll in this course. It's very beneficial for everybody!

It is very useful in terms of distinguish the things around us, and nothing callled "built-in", everything can be changed One of the things I use, live the moment and letting of the past and future, that makes my mind much clear to plan with passion to do

Super, amazing, ultra, hyper course! I've a lot of fun, because I'm an adept to the Zen philosophies and see someone talk about the subject and put the light of psychology over is fantastic. If you want to learn something practice to improve your life quality, take this course. You will find crystal clear explanations, sense of humor, great lessons et will feel better after each session.
