Synopsis

This book coaxes the reader into a direct encounter with the life-changing perceptions of the Zen mind. Building on the discoveries of the formative teachers - from the quest of enlightenment of the historical Buddha to the 'crazy wisdom' of the Chinese patriarchs who gave Zen its unique and unsettling flavour - the author points to the essentials of Zen. The book does not 'talk about' Zen it is Zen from a completely new and refreshing perspective.
