Zen Flesh, Zen Bones: A Collection of Zen and Pre-Zen Writings

Rating:
Summary: A long-time favorite
Review: Zen or no-zen, the stories in this book are unequaled in their beauty, simplicity, or depth.

(This from someone who has never been a practicioner of Zen Buddhism.)

Not a practical, how-to, this-is-zen kind of book. Unadorned by testimonials and advertisements for this or that school.
