5.0 out of 5 stars
Best cross section on Zen available,
By Rob "Rob" (Scottsdale, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zen to Go (Paperback)
Lighthearted but impressive collection of quotations on all aspecs of Zen from Life to Death, BC to modern day, & everything in between. A great place to start searching for those aspects of Zen philosophy which interest you. Quips from Yogi Berra to the Buddha make this a wide-ranging and sometimes moving collection I've read time and time again.

This review is from: Zen to Go (Paperback)
very zen in itself, and admittedly a "finger pointing at the moon", this book gives a great flavor of zen and shows zen's varied forms as well as zen's freedom from a particular time. Great concept, great quotes, great book.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Zen to Go (Paperback)
You need to read this book to figure out that you didn't need to read this book.Zen To Go is a compendium of those OMG flashes of insight when words can almost kind of describe the truth of things and maybe-just-maybe you figured something real out. It's a bunch of contradictions(nothing is everything is nothing), a bunch of humor(Yogi Berra is quoted a lot), and all else inbetween. It's the best book I've ever read or ever will read without a doubt, because when I first flipped through it's pages, in a Borders bookstore on a non day, an older, wiser me flipped back.
