Synopsis
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few. So begins this most beloved of all American Zen books. Seldom has such a small handful of words provided a teaching as rich as has this famous opening line. In a single stroke, the simple sentence cuts through the pervasive tendency students have of getting so close to Zen as to completely miss what it's all about. An instant teaching on the first page. And that's just the beginning. In the forty years since its original publication, Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind has become one of the great modern spiritual classics, much beloved, much reread, and much recommended as the best first book to read on Zen. Suzuki Roshi presents the basics--from the details of posture and breathing in zazen to the perception of nonduality--in a way that is not only remarkably clear, but that also resonates with the joy of insight from the first to the last page., "In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few."

    The seller reached out immediately and thanked me for the purchase. Like, immediately. Then shipped that day even tho that wasn't expected or requested. Packaged with care and the seller provided "extras" which, again, was an added delight. A++

    It is rare for me to find a seller such as this one. He was so honest, professional, and great to work with! The book was exactly what I had hoped for...perfectly new, sealed, and he shipped the package so securely nothing could have happened to it. Thank you so much!!! :)

    Good Read

    The content is an insight to better change your perceptions toward living life. Life would be so much easier to live if our busy mind could be taught to put thoughts aside and remain in your moment with silence. With an open mind and wanting a healthy mental relationship with yourself, this book can help you work towards being able to manage life. I chose to write this review because this book is not the answer to everything but it is one step to handling your racing thoughts and busy mind.
