    Announcing our next book: To You

    Dear All,

    Please allowing me to announce our next book for the "no words book club." We will take a little pause from Zen Master's Dance between chapters, for some wonderful reflections and inspiration, from dear Homeless Kodo Sawaki ... To You:

    It is a wonderful little book ... brilliant, in fact.


    Gassho, Jundo

    For years i have been asking myself: why do i do this zazen? And than i read Sawaki roshi: 'Zen is good for nothing.' Now i just sit..

        Thank you Jundo. I am excited to read it.

                Hi

                If you can practice Antaiji and Kotaiji,these are best things.
                I was at Antaiji practice with Abbot Muho and was at Kotaiji practice with Reiho San.
                They translate this book.

                Also Uchiyama Roshi was at Antaiji.Our linage is also from Sawaki Roshi.

                This book is in Japanese 禅に聞け,like,ask from Zen.

                Hope to have real practice.Reading book is reading book.Also reading is practice
                but...

                  And perhaps you should actually understand Kodo Sawaki more, read a bit more, actually understand Zen practice more!

                              I found the book at the bottom of my “to read” pile. Thank you for the motivation to read it with you.
