Book Description

March 1, 1999
These insights from many years of Zen meditation practice appeal to a wide range of spiritual traditions and explore topics such as the difference between process and content, notions of right and wrong, ending self-punishment, and taking responsibility for one's experiences. Perfect for beginning Zen students and for those interested in Buddhism in general or eastern religion, it features deep spiritual insights and playful illustrations that add warmth and approachability to the topic.

5.0 out of 5 stars "The Key," changed my point of view forever!, June 17, 2000
By 
John J Kilfoil (Mahopac, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Key: And the Name of the Key Is Willingness (Paperback)
I offer these words in loving-kindness as the words and pictures in this awesome book are offered to you.

In 1991, Tich Nhat Hanh's simple statement, "Understanding and love are not two things, but just one," in "Peace is Every Step," put on me the middle way. The awesome, life changing wisdom in this little book has kept me there.

Lovingly scribbled and illustrated (thanks so much June!) on the pages of this treasure is a practical approach to realizing the "Now What, But How" Compassion that is Zen. If you do not read anything else by Cheri Huber, read "The Key." If you find you love, "The Key," as I did, be sure to read "That Which You Are Seeking Is Causing You to Seek."

5.0 out of 5 stars The hardest to learn is the least complicated, August 15, 2000
This review is from: The Key: And the Name of the Key Is Willingness (Paperback)
"The Key" explains Zen concepts in beautiful simplicity. I like that it was hand written (not typeset); it seems truly personal. This book was my introduction to Zen (and to the rest of Cheri Huber's books). What a joy! Zen is so clear and so simple that it almost seems complex. "The Key" contains so many pearls of wisdom that I find myself re-reading it. Each time I revisit the book, I find a new insight.

5.0 out of 5 stars A life changing experience, May 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Key: And the Name of the Key Is Willingness (Paperback)
This book along with That Which You are Seeking became this first step of a wonderful life changing journey to acceptance of what is. I continue to re-read it and share it.
