Hello Holly Welcome in the Zen club. There are lots and lots of interesting books about Zen. But at least, you can't learn anything about Zen from books: You have to practice Zazen meditation to learn. Join a group and start Zen there. Which doesn't mean that you may not read books about Zen, of course ... But DOING it is more important.
A book which bases on a "rational" access, for people with a western background: Benjamin Radcliff, Amy Radcliff, Understanding Zen A funny one with a psychedelic approach: Taddeus Golas, The Lazy Man's Way to Enlightment Stephan --- In Zen_Forum@yahoogroups.com, "dkotschessa" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In Zen_Forum@yahoogroups.com, "spider63" <spider63@> wrote: > > > > From: "Holly Venn" <lovecats_888@> > > > > Hi all, > > > > My name is Holly.
