An excelent Book Scottish,

It is about Zen but however is a wonderful introduction into the nature of mind and brings you into the very essence of what the Buddha taught.

Congratulations!

Thank You! i'm having a wee look at steve hagen's site:)

Just a gentle reminder that tradition -specific questions and comments about
Zen practice (rather than general questions and answers about the basic teachings of the Buddha) take place in the Mahayana forum.

Thank you for that, i'm just all new to this, thanks for understanding:)

You are very welcome, Scottishpacfan, enjoy your investigations. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/grin.gif

Hi

I read that book when I first started looking at Buddhism, and ironically found it anything but 'plain and simple', there were far too many long words for my simple brain to deal with. I had another go after a few years and it seemed to make much more sense, but only because I understood some of the concepts.

I hope you enjoy it.

It's been recommended to me at my meditation group but I have not yet read it.

Just bought the kindle additionhttp://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...milies/lol.gif

I bought this book on Kaarine's recommendation and found it very eye opening.
