Book Description

February 1, 2008
Sekkei Harada is of automatic interest to anyone with an interest in modern Zen history. Like such big Zen names as Seung Sahn and Taizan Maezumi, he’s very no-nonsense and gets right to the matter. Harada’s specialization, captured here, is in treating our "Zen sickness," pushing us to drop those parts of ourselves that grasp and make demands regarding our understanding or progress in Zen practice. He also explains the differences between Zen’s primary schools, helping newer practitioners find their way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Discovering the True Self, November 21, 2011
By 
Melissa D Cardenas (Menlo Park, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Essence of Zen: The Teachings of Sekkei Harada (Paperback)
It is said that a true Zen Master is only concerned with pointing the student toward their True Self. Page after page, Harada Roshi does just that - brushing away false ideals, and encouraging complete intimacy with that gem that we already possess. His kind, matter-of-fact teaching will inspire experienced students and beginners alike. I wholeheartedly recommend this book!
