Reb Anderson Roshi introduces the fundamentals of Zen Buddhist practice and the deeper meaning of conventional Buddhist precepts. He then uses stories-ancient texts, modern songs, Shakespeare, fairy tales-to pierce the heart of situations where moral judgements aren't easy, teaching us how to confront our emotional and ethical turmoil. Wise and compassionate, he also discusses his own journey, American Zen, and his teacher Suzuki Roshi with courage and honesty. In stock.
