<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Seen by many as a contemporary classic, Janwillem van de Wetering's small and admirable memoir records the experiences of a young Dutch student--later a widely celebrated mystery writer--who spent a year and a half as a novice monk in a Japanese Zen Buddhist monastery. As Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, author of <i>Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism</i>, has written, <i>The Empty Mirror</i> should be very encouraging for other Western seekers. <p/>It is the first book in a trilogy that continues with <i>A Glimpse of Nothingness</i> and <i>Afterzen</i>.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"This small and memorable memoir records the experiences of a young Dutch student who spent a year and a half as a novice monk in a Japanese Zen Buddhist monastery . . .
