A Guide to Zen: Lessons from a Modern Master

This book takes the formidable 100,000-word classic Zen Training by the good master Katsuki Sekida and extracts its finest gems. Marc Allen has moderately chosen the passages such a lot relevant to as of late, producing a readable work of six chapters covering the fundamentals of posture, breathing, and training, and presenting more than a few pieces of Zen literature and meditation pictures. The result’s a whole course in Zen from a brand new master — as one would receive in a traditional Zen center — simply and wonderfully written.
