Gudo Wafu Nishijima was a student of Master Kodo Sawaki, an itinerant priest who sought to restore Zazen as the centerpiece of Buddhism. Ordained by the late Master Rempo Niwa, former head of the Soto Sect and Abbot of Eiheiji, Master Nishijima has written many books on Buddhism in both Japanese and English. In this book, Nishijima explains and expands upon his various views on Zen Practice, Buddhism and religion in general. This new, expanded edition also features a profile and translated talk on Zen Practice by Master Rempo Niwa.
