Reviews
One of the best and most succinct introductions to Zen practice.Library Journal
Though covering Zen basics like zazen posture, bowing, intention, and so on, Suzuki Roshis masterwork is hardly just for Zen peopleor just for beginners, for that matter. It skillfully introduces important Buddhist concepts like non-attachment, emptiness, and enlightenment.Lions Roar
"This is one of the top five Buddhist books, ever."Elephant Journal
