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 Roshi's masterwork is hardly just for Zen people-or just for beginners, for that matter. It skillfully introduces important Buddhist concepts like non-attachment, emptiness, and enlightenment."-Lion's Roar "This is one of the top five Buddhist books, ever."-Elephant Journal
