Teaching stories by one of the foremost teachers of Zen in the West, whose influence spread far beyond the world of Korean Zen.
Seung Sahn (1927-2004) was the first teacher of Korean Zen Buddhism to America. He founded dozens of Zen centres and the Kwan Um School of Zen
“Now that Soen Sa Nim [Zen Master Seung Sahn] is gone, we have only
the stories, and, thankfully, books such as this one, to help bring
him alive to those who never had a chance to encounter him in the
flesh. In these pages, if you linger in them long enough, and let
them soak into you, you will indeed meet him in his inimitable
suchness, and perhaps much more important, as would have been his
hope, you will meet yourself.”—Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of Coming to
Our Senses
“Zen Master Seung Sahn’s teachings will always bring great light
into the world. His extraordinary wit, intelligence, courage, and
compassion are brought to us in this wonderful and important book.
Thousands of students have benefited from his great understanding.
Now more will come to know the heart of this rare and profound
human being.”—Joan Halifax, Abbot, Upaya Zen Center
