Practicing the Way of Zen

Turning toward the way of Zen and practicing is learning to forget oneself, and the forgetting of self is awakening to a more fluid and wider dimension of our existence. Deepening the understanding of this experience is the subject of this work bringing together one hundred texts that reflect a great intimacy with Zen practice and culture.

Each text draws on a traditional Buddhist teaching, a word of a Zen master, while situating itself in our contemporary world. By guiding us on the Way, these lucid texts help us overcome difficulties, strip away our shell, broaden our vision and open us to the resonance of the universe.
