Summary

Jack Maguire takes you within monastery walls to provide an insider's view of the elements of daily life: sitting and walking meditation; Zen-style meals; work as a key part of spiritual practice; ceremonies and chanting; and encounters with teachers.
He also provides profiles of full-time residents to show the surprising range of people who live in Zen monasteries, as well as their perspectives on their unique lifestyle. A detailed guide to Zen Buddhist places throughout North America and a glossary of terms make Waking Up not only a handbook for the curious seeker, but also an excellent resource for anyone who wants to know more about the way of Zen.
