Zen master Julian Daizan Skinner guides the reader through a sequence of meditation techniques that can safely lead even a complete novice through to advanced levels. Based on his own long experience of the Rinzai Zen tradition, as taught by the great seventeenth-century masters, Hakuin and Bankei, Daizan highlights the key points for success and addresses the pitfalls. Structured around a traditional teaching framework called "The two wings of a bird," Daizan clearly lays-out how these methods build and combine to create a transformative and sustaining practice. The book contains an extremely useful section describing the experiences of western practitioners who have successfully applied this framework within the pressures of modern life. The final section features key source texts in translation, making the book a complete introduction and guide to Zen meditation. The work of a master, the book speaks at a deep level, with utmost simplicity.

Zen, plain and simple, with no BS. This is not your typical Zen book. Brad Warner, a young punk who grew up to be a Zen master, spares no one. This bold new approach to the "Why?" of Zen Buddhism is as strongly grounded in the tradition of Zen as it is utterly revolutionary. Warner's voice is hilarious, and he calls on the wisdom of everyone from punk and pop culture icons to the Buddha himself to make sure his points come through loud and clear. As it prods readers to question everything, Hardcore Zen is both an approach and a departure, leaving behind the soft and lyrical for the gritty and stark perspective of a new generation. This new edition will feature an afterword from the author.

Zen is the essence and value of life, that which makes life worth living. Being that which uses and discards all forms, whether of thought, words or material substance, it cannot be described in material form. Yet to get it across some form is necessary, and in this book which is not merely about Zen but which attempts to transfer the life of Zen to the receptive reader, a style must be devised for the occasion.

The Zen of Love is a love letter that awakens the infinite unconditional love that lies deep within your heart. It will heal and transform all your relationships, especially the one you have with yourself. Much more than a book, "it is a true living miracle." Relationships can be tricky. But that's because we don't understand the profound power of love that's going on "behind the scenes". Let this book enlighten you and change the way you see relationships, the world and yourself. "The Zen of Love is one of the clearest books ever written on the fundamentals of spirituality and personal growth." - Michael Mirdad, Healing the Heart and Soul "If you're seeking a book about spiritual enlightenment that contains more than just words, you've found it." - J. Steward Dixon, Blue Collar Enlightenment "The open-hearted message of love positively beams from every page." - Rosina Wilson, Book Editor
