Don't-Know Mind : The Spirit of Korean Zen

Rating:
Summary: Very clear introduction to Korean Zen
Review: I don't know about the last review -- I know what s/he intends to mean, but to a beginner s/he maybe makes it sound like this is a practice about blindly following a kind of cult leader. "Close your eyes; don't look behind the curtain, this teaching is above your judgment." Maybe not so helpful.

As a teacher in a slightly different lineage of Korean Zen, I'm very happy to recommend this book to new practitioners in search of a clear, concise introduction. Although, of course, the cushion and your own life are best, if you feel you need a book, I'd also recommend Richard Shrobe's first one (written as Zen Master Wu Kwang), "Open Mouth Already A Mistake," which I must admit to happily avoiding for years because I took its title to heart.

Ultimately because no good, no bad, "Don't Know Mind" is a damn good little book.

Summary: Rating this book-already a mistake!
Review: When reading this book, just read it! Do not make good and bad judgement about its teaching. It's always direct, clear and complete! I just bow to Zen Master Wu Kuang!
