Table of Contents

"This is a book that deserves serious attention . . . eminently readable, easy to relate to on several different levels, and a fascinating and encouraging tale of human communal endeavor."--The New York Times Book Review

"I was pleasantly surprised to find the book enjoyable . . . the main virtue of this book is van de Wetering's skill for re-creating places, feelings, scenes, and encounters. The book is relaxed, alternately serious and humorous, and insightful."--The Shambhala Review

"The most down-to-earth account of the Zen discipline ever written for Westerners . . . van de Wetering clears away the thicket of intellectualization and mannered inscrutability and gets down to the ordinariness of Zen. Even those who normally refect spiritual trips . . . will find this dogged, bourgeois seeker hard to ignore."--Kirkus Reviews
