Both a fascinating glimpse of the interaction between spiritual master and disciple and a lucid analysis of the Zen path of awareness, this book describes techniques for breathing, standing, walking, concentrating, moving the mind, overcoming ego, healing the body, and finally, opening a -window of opportunity- between stillness and motion that allows the expansion of time and consciousness.
and nearly as charming as that other fine book, Zen in the Art of Archery by Eugen Herrigel. The author went to a retreat in the american southwest, and if anyone can find the contact information of the teacher (if he's still around) let me know. I bought this book over two years ago and only now am slightly "getting" some of it. It bears repeated rereading - but without a qualified instructor in moving meditative practices your progress will be greatly slowed.
