A Guide to Zen: Lessons from a Modern Master

By Katsuki Sekida

Book Overview

Katsuki Sekida was both a great writer and a great Zen master, and his books on Zen are among the most comprehensive ever written in English. In these pages, his former student Marc Allen culls the finest pieces from the original works to create a beautifully readable, brilliantly illuminating guide to Zen meditation. It begins with a summary of Zen, continues with a complete course in Zen meditation, and ends with comments on a Zen classic, In Search of the Missing Ox. Specific practices are featured throughout, such as "One-Minute Zazen" and other gems that are the result of a lifetime of study. For students of Zen both new and old, Sekida's teachings are an endless source of insight and wisdom.
