"In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few." So begins this most beloved of all American Zen books. Seldom has such a small handful of words provided a teaching as rich as has this famous opening line of Shunryu Suzuki's classic. In a single stroke, the simple sentence cuts through the pervasive tendency students have of getting so close to Zen as to completely miss what it's all about. An instant teaching on the first page. And that's just the beginning.

This is unlike any book you've ever read. The book actually transmits pure Divine Grace to you. It is truly, profoundly life-changing, both in the changes you'll see in your life, and the spiritual experiences you'll have.
