The Exquisite, Powerful Conjunction of Two Spiritual Traditions
Stalking Nirvana is the story of how Clarence Duncan, known as Grandfather Duncan Sings-Alone, came to expand his spiritual path after forty years devoted to the Native American spiritual practice, the Red Road. After ten years of intensive training with two medicine men, Duncan spent the next thirty years leading inter-tribal spiritual communities with regular sweat lodges, pipe ceremonies, and vision quests. This work was important and fulfilling, but Duncan felt the push of Spirit leading him to teach outside the native communities, telling him that human beings have lost their bearings and need to learn how to live in balance once again with Grandmother Earth. In his quest to teach in the broader world, Duncan found that Zen Buddhism resonated powerfully with the spiritual concepts of the Red Road. The beautiful, ancient teachings of Zen Buddhism appealed deeply to Duncan, and he became a priest and, ultimately, Dharma Successor to Roshi Paul Genki Kahn. This exploration of spirituality is an inspiring example of the ways in which great teachings can align to open new vistas which Grandfather Sings-Alone is doing by integrating two beautiful pathways into Red Path Zen.
