Zen Master: Practical Zen By An American For Americans

Book Summary

This book is not Zen; it is only "talk" about Zen. For readers not at all familiar with Zen but interested in learning more, this is the right book. For those familiar with Zen, they may enjoy this book as a reaffirmation of what they already know. Even though we know that words cannot convey the essence of experience, we continue to use them as if they could. This is as natural for human beings as baying at the moon is natural for wolves. But, we must not forget that the wolf's baying is not astronomy; it is only baying at the moon. Similarly, this book is NOT ZEN; it is only talk about Zen. If you are not at all familiar with Zen but are interested in learning more, you have found the right book. If you are very familiar with Zen, you may enjoy this book as a reaffirmation of what you already know.
