The Light That Shines Through Infinity: Zen and the Energy of Life by Andrea Martin, Dainin Katagiri

steve_urick's review against another edition

4.0

These are transcribed for talks that the Zen Buddhist teacher gave in the US, where he lived for many years. I liked his metaphors and explanations on the whole, and his constant reminders not to get caught by the metaphors or explanations. I might be misquoting but he had something about 2coming back to zero" that resonated with me. He has a very encouraging style, which I suppose is not surprising, as these talks were probably given both to deepen the understanding of people practicing with him and encouraging them to practice.
