ROSHI PHILIP KAPLEAU was the founder of the Rochester Zen Center and the author of numerous books, including Zen- Merging of East and West and The Three Pillars of Zen- Teaching, Practice, and Enlightenment.

"The Three Pillars of Zen is still, in my opinion, the best book in
English that has been written on Zen Buddhism." —Huston Smith,
author of The Worlds' Religions and Forgotten Truth
"The Three Pillars of Zen heralded the end of armchair
Buddhism. With this practical guide to Zen meditation,
Roshi Kapleau ushered in the first wave of American zazen
practitioners. It was extraordinarily inspiring. It still is."
—Helen Tworkov, founding editor of Tricycle: The Buddhist Review
and author of Zen in America
"For over thirty years Roshi Kapleau's Three Pillars of Zen has
been the wellspring of Zen teachings for practitioners in the West,
remaining as vital and fresh today as it was when it was originally
published. It truly ranks among the timeless classics of Zen
Buddhism." —Roshi John Daido Loori, Abbot, Zen Mountain
Monastery
"For anyone seriously interested in Zen—this book will be
invaluable." —The Times Literary Supplement (London)
