Interesting zen stories

Donald Richie strays from his core strength, Japaense cinema, and writes stories - some invented, some historical - about Zen. Much as "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" is not a tome of Buddhism, this book should be taken for what it is: stories about Zen from an interested non-practioner. As one of the stories suggests, those who are enlightened have no use for writing or reading about Zen anyways.
