Product Description
From the Author
I re-read this book after my wife's sudden death.
This book, Bearing Witness, came out two weeks after the sudden death of my wife, Jishu Holmes, at the age of 57. The book is in part about the importance of bearing witness to all our joys and suffering, plunging into situations of fear and sadness without holding back. As soon as I received the advance copy I began to read the book I had written every morning, while I sat with Jishu’s picture and listened to the music that she had loved. It was like reading the book not just with new eyes, but with a new heart. I read, grieved, and cried. I also found that I was appreciating the teachings of the book in a new and more profound way than before, when I had put them down on paper. The book felt real; it spoke to my heart.

I hope it speak to yours as well. May we continue to bear witness and make peace, in our hearts and in all the world.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bearing Witness assists in helping us all master peace, 24 Aug 1998
By A Customer
Bearing Witness is no doubt an important book, but it certainly is not as inspirational as Bernard Glassman's "Instructions to the Cook." It reveals (in a somewhat slow manner) a series of tales of individuals who are coming together -- to bear witness (an old Quaker term) and seeking to make the world a better place of human understanding and compassion.

This is one of those books that I think everyone should read, although it is sometimes both disturbing and overly ambitious. The author's intent was magnificent, but revealed too much personal ego for what I understand a Zen master to be.
