Zen without Zen Masters

Summary: The Best Interactive book on Zen I've ever read!
Review: A book on Zen is a contradiction in terms. It's be like having a 300-page book on being succinct. Zen practioners believe that the best way to experience Zen is to experience life, not read or study it. "Zen Without Zen Masters" captures this theme beautifully. The book is comprised of short, mostly orignal, humorous Zen anecdotes. Each of which reads like the setup of a joke. As you read these stories, you'll find yourself thinking. But you'll also find youself laughing. So not only are you a reader of Benares' book, you're a participant as well. And after all, that's what Zen is all about.

Summary: Short and to the point
Review: It's all here. This is the Funny - Cartoon - Western approach to the gate, but it's the same gate. Look for this book. If you can't find it, email me, and I'll loan you my copy.
