Description
These days, when Zen has become a kind of shorthand for anything that’s enigmatic or aesthetically spare, it’s refreshing be reminded that Zen is at heart a practice for waking up from the dream we inhabit—in order to free ourselves from the suffering the dream imposes on us. Elihu Genmyo Smith’s eminently practical Zen teaching never loses sight of that central concern: Whether it takes the form of zazen (meditation), koan work, or just eating your breakfast, the aim of Zen practice is always nothing other than intimacy with ourselves and everything around us.
Advance Praise
“As I read Genmyo Elihu Smith’s book, I heard in his voice echoes of the
voices of his teachers, Soen Roshi, Maezumi Roshi, and Joko Beck. And
yet, Genmyo’s voice is his own, a voice imbued with confidence about the
unique benefits of practice and its relevance to the difficulties of
ordinary life. Reading this book is like having a Zen teacher appear in
your living room, warm, wise and intimate.”
