I picked up this book only by chance as a supplementary material for one of my classes. I did not expect much as i have never been to interested in Zen before, maybe just because of my ignorance on the subject. After reading a first couple of chapter i felt myself change. This book opened my eyes. It is written in a simple language, when i read it i felt like the author was talking to me and all i had to do was kick back and listen. It is really a great book if you want to know more about Zen and not feel like you have to struggle through every page to understand what the author is saying.

It is pleasant, beautiful and inspiring, so i give it 5 stars and i could i'd give it more!

Once again we are fortunate to have the words and wisdom of one of the great voices in contemporary Buddhism-I highly recommend along with FREE YOUR MIND by Anthony Stultz and BEING ZEN by Ezra Bayda.
