Rezensionen

"[This] is a different book every time I read it. Behind the simplicity, it is dense with Zen wisdom that flashes like lightning as you read and reread."-Jon Lebkowskyl, Millennium Whole Earth Catalog

"One of the best and most succinct introductions to Zen practice."-Library Journal

"One of the top five Buddhist books, ever."-Elephant

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
