Actually lays zen out clearly so one can understand what they are talking about. I really enjoyed the history and and development information as well as the various simple exercises given in the book.

La calidad de está edición especifica es muy buena, la tapa es dura, las hojas son lisas y brillantes y el tamaño es portable.

En cuanto a los contenidos es bastante completo, hace un esfuerzo en cubrir todo lo referente al zen desde su historia hasta su practica, con diferentes ejercicios, lo recomiendo a todo aquel que se encuentre interesado en esta forma de vida.

This is a book that outlines the basics of Zen. Divided into 3 parts, the book explains the history of Zen, the themes of Zen, and ways you can add Zen into your life through the arts. As someone fairly new to consistent, regular meditation, it was very informative and enlightening.
