This side of Nirvana is a spiritual journey story that reflects a remarkable level of self-awareness and depth. Jenks was a typical "seeker" who sampled the various offerings from today's spiritual cafeteria. She eventually became persuaded that the Buddhist path spoke best to her condition. This book chronicles her experience from her initial accidental Buddhist vows in India, to her experiences in various Asian influenced Buddhist communities in the U.S., and finally to her true spiritual home---American Buddhist practice under the tutelage of zen master Cheri Huber.

A personal account of one woman's spiritual journey, this memoir examines what happens when a talented female teacher takes the masculine assumptions of Zen practice and turns them inside out. Setting out as a young woman to learn from Asian teachers, the author met with formidable masters and struggled diligently to learn meditation. Only after meeting Cheri Huber did she begin to understand and internalize the tenets of Zen Buddhism. Discussion of belief and practice blends with an unflinching frankness about personal difficulties, the honest search for growth, and revealing interactions between student and teacher.
