funny inspiring lighthearted reflective relaxing fast-paced

This was a reeeeally short read, and one that was pretty light for a Zen book. It's basically a collection of stories about a particular teacher, and there's a mixed bag of touching, profound, and funny. It's a glimpse into the day-to-day life of someone who lives Zen, and in that way it was interesting to see it at work in the real world.

Recommended for people who have already read books about Zen and meditation--you won't learn much from this, but if you have a basic understanding you'll appreciate it more.

this came to me at the right time. go read it x

A charming little chapbook of quotes by the great Zen teacher of California.
It does a nice job of displaying both his with and often challenging wisdom.

Suzuki Roshi is very clever.
