About
The Way of True Zen is a compilation of the most influential writings of Master Deshimaru, covering a broad array of Zen and Buddhist related ideas. Explored are such topics as the "Fukanzazengi" (Dogen's instructions on zazen sitting practice), "The Spirit of Zen", and "Hishiryo" (beyond thinking and non-thinking). These are core teachings in Soto Zen, and Deshimaru offers them in a very readable modern dialogue.
