    Thanks, Jundo. I too loved the book. Shitou really sings for me, and Connelly's reflections are very thoughtful.

      Thanks all.
      I did as Bryson and now have the digital version from Wisdom Publications.

      Looking forward to read it with you in the Book Club, although I think that perhaps I'll have a peek before, I'm eager to start reading it.

      Gassho,
      Walter.

            I've already started reading it.
            I do not remember another zen book (well, I've read just a few) so motivating and beautiful.
            I'm enjoying every single line and it reflects my current questions about life and practice.

            In my humble opinion, it should be one of the first books one reads when starting to stumble along the zen path.

            Thank you SO MUCH for the recommendation, Jundo and Risho.


            Gassho,
            Walter.

              I have been in touch with the author, Ben Connelly, and he has agreed to come lead Zazen for us one day in February of March (date to be determined).

              He thanks everyone for their kindness toward his book.

                I'd better start reading it then, so I can ask some educated questions...!

                    Please take my words with a big grain of salt. I know nothing. Wisdom is only found in our whole-hearted practice together.

                              Jundo, very exciting news. This is a beautiful book. I just started reading it, but I can already tell it is going to deeply affect my practice.

                                Favorite quote so far (I am still reading it).

                                “A balance exists between accidently cultivating attachment by being present to life and denying oneself the enjoyment of your moments as a means to let go of attachment; it is a Middle Way between realizing impermanence and realizing the present moment.”
