5.0 out of 5 stars This is it!, 13 Dec 2003

By	Mr. R. M. Brown "brownr4" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This, and Joko Becks' other books express true Zen. I have read many, many books on Zen and 'practiced' on my own for many years whilst avoiding joining an established group. Joko Beck, however, changed that and after performing an internet serch of her name I became a member of her zen school headed by one of her dharma heirs. Another excellent book to consider is Hardcore zen by Brad Warner. I cannot recommend these books enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars One to refer to again & again, 1 Jul 2004

By	Roger Fitch "inflatable_light" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am not a Buddhist, nor do i know too much about Zen. But this book, to me, is pretty good 'practice' in itself. The content is not over complicated and although quite frank at times, it is this honesty that gives a ring of truth. I read this book when i feel in an irrational state, be it angry,fed up , whatever. i feel more centered afterwards.

5.0 out of 5 stars An inspiring guide to in-depth practice by a lay person, 9 Nov 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Everyday Zen (Paperback)

Its heartwarming to know that lay people can acheive this depth of practice. Its really clear and simple. (It would be so easy to be unclear) The only thing is, I would say it is no substitute for a good 'teacher', more of a supplement to a good teaching. I don't mean that it is not easy to understand. Its just that its so easy to get off track on these subjects, that having a real teacher is ideal. I found her book great, but I needed to refer back to real people to apply the ideas she talks about. I suppose the sort of people who read this book will probably know this already though.
