5.0 out of 5 stars What can I say..., 18 Jun 2008
By Mr Anonymous (somewhere) - See all my reviews
This is a truly stunning collection of discourses. Even before Genpo developed his Big Mind Process www.zen-eye.org and www.genpo.org, the talks he gave, and the ones we see here, are impregnated with warmth and humour.

What is striking is his ability to get to the heart of the matter; his no shilly-shallying, just do it style.

A very inspiring piece - eminently recommended.

By M. A. Ramos (Florida USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This book is well written. And should be read. The books tries to help you experience the truth without any so called prejudices. Hopefully the commentaries of Merzel on the classic hinese Zen scriptures can help us westerners understand.
