Book Synopsis
The first introduction of Zen Buddhism to the West is written by a master who will neither baffle nor bore as he draws you into the Zen frame of mind. Reading his description of the Buddhist idea of God, of Karma, or of reincarnation, is like resting in a Japanese garden: there are no excesses, every feature blesses you with radiant tranquillity. And when he speaks out against war, he chills us with a vision of a moonlit battlefield. Includes the Sutra of the Forty-Two Chapters.
