An accessible and enjoyable introduction to Zen Buddhist practice--in a reader-friendly question-and-answer format--by two highly regarded teacher-writers.
Norman Fischer is a Zen teacher in the lineage of Shunryu Suzuki
and Sojun Mel Weitsman. An award-winning poet and author of
numerous books, he is the founder of Everyday Zen, an organization
that brings Zen teachings to people from a wide range of
backgrounds. He also teaches meditation in Jewish communities
throughout the United States.
Susan Moon was for many years the editor of Turning Wheel, the
Journal of the Buddhist Peace Fellowship. A longtime writer,
writing teacher, and activist, she is the author of several books
and the creator of the fictional Zen teacher Tofu Roshi, whose
"Dear Abby"-style advice column has entertained Bay Area readers in
several publications for nearly thirty years.
"This book is pure Zen, pure Norman, pure Sue, and pure poetry in
spite being in the form of prose: refreshingly down-to-earth,
modest, razor sharp, and subtle. Zen can’t but come alive for you
in the reading, and even more, in coupling your reading with
practice."—Jon Kabat-Zinn
"'What is Zen?' is a perplexing question, one I’m frequently asked,
and one I ask myself, again and again. Norman Fischer and Sue
Moon’s conversation is a wonderful, profound, affectionate, and
immensely readable answer to this perplexing and ultimately
unanswerable question. What Is Zen? is a book I know I’ll return to
again and again, whenever the question arises.”—Ruth Ozeki
