5.0 out of 5 stars great meditation tape, January 19, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Teachings of Zen: Master Dogen (Audio Cassette)

I find listening to this tape over and over and over like a music tape, I am getting into Dogen's mind a little, and it is actually starting to make sense!!!! Egads, I should check myself in! It is really a different experience hearing it and trying to follow it, as compared to reading it. It has become sort of like poetry for me, I guess. Thanks to Gary Snyder and Kaz and Dogen. gassho.

Peaceful, relaxing reading of Master Dogen's writings by Gary Snyder. Maybe if I listen to it another 10-20 times I will start to make some sense of most of the inner meanings! What is it with rivers and mountains, anyway?
