A Guide to Zen: Lessons in Meditation from a Modern Master - Hardcover

This book takes the formidable 100,000-word classic Zen Training by the great master Katsuki Sekida and extracts its finest gems. Marc Allen has carefully chosen the passages most relevant to today, producing a readable work of six chapters covering the basics of posture, breathing, and training, and presenting various pieces of Zen literature and meditation pictures. The result is a complete course in Zen from a modern master ? as one would receive in a traditional Zen center ? simply and beautifully written.
