A great book to absorb one chapter at a time
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Having read a variety of books in the Buddhist tradition I can honestly say this is one of my favorites. Composed of various conversations that originally appeared as a series of articles he covers a wide range of subjects. Probably not the book I would recommend as a first book on Buddhism, that being "Buddhism Plain and Simple" by Steve Hagen, it would appeal more to those with more familiarity with Buddhist philosophy. The Q & A format is wonderful in that Sheng-Yen's answers shed light on many fine points of Buddhist practice. His command of English appears to be very good and I really gained an appreciation for his achievement as a scholar and practitioner. It was also very interesting to learn more about the unique aspects of Chan which is the Chinese tradition from which Zen developed. All in all, a wonderful read and I look forward to reading more of this great teachers work.
