Appreciate Your Life: The Essence of Zen Practice (Shambhala Classics)
Do a roll call of the major foreign Zen priests who lived in America to transmit Zen, and you have a pretty short list: Shunryu Suzuki, Seung Sahn, and Taizan Maezumi Of these, Maezumi is the least well-known, though he transmitted to 12 successors and established 35 Zen centers. In the great Zen tradition of recording a master's words, Maezumi's students have brought together a number of his teisho, presentations to the disciples of a master's realization. Rather than general lectures or public talks, these short pieces were meant to be heard at times of intense practice, during breaks in meditation, when the student's mind is piqued for sparks of enlightenment. Maezumi touches on subjects relevant to the serious practitioner--the bodhi mind, life as a koan, practicing the paramitas, copying sutras, etc. Though not technically difficult, these pieces assume a background in the fundamentals of Buddhism, perfect for the increasing number of readers who have progressed beyond the introductory level and seek more sophisticated guidance. --Brian Bruya.

The Hazy Moon of Enlightenment: Part of the On Zen Practice Series (On Zen Practice)
The authors’ previous book, On Zen Practice, was conceived as the essential primer for beginning Zen practice, offering insight to every aspect of Zen training The Hazy Moon of Enlightenment takes readers to the next level, exploring some of Zen’s most subtle and sophisticated topics. The first two parts of the book explore enlightenment and delusion: the nature of enlightenment, what it means to describe it as “sudden” or “gradual,” and the nature of delusion and how to distinguish it from reality. Part three looks at “enlightenment in action” — what it means for someone to be living and acting in order with the deep wisdom of enlightenment, and how they can practice “learning how to be satisfied” and enjoy serenity and tranquility. The final section is a moving firsthand account of one woman’s solitary realization of the deepest truths, a story — like this book — at once practical and inspiring.
