<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The power and simplicity of the Korean Zen tradition shine in this collection of teachings by a renowned modern master, translated by Martine Batchelor. Kusan Sunim provides a wealth of practical advice for students, particularly with regard to the uniquely Korean practice of <i>hwadu</i>, or sitting with questioning. An extensive introduction by Stephen Batchelor, author of <i>Buddhism without Beliefs</i>, provides both a biography of the author and a brief history of Korean Zen.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>I highly recommend this wonderful book which affords us a 'bird's-eye' view into the teachings of Korean Zen Master Kusan Sunim.
