Author Katsuki Sekida with Marc Allen.
Katsuki Sekida was both a great writer and a great master of Zen. His finest work, Zen Training, published in 1975, remains one of the finest books on Zen ever written in English. Now Marc Allen, a former student of Katsuki Sekida's, has carefully culled the finest gems from the original work, and produced a beautifully readable, brilliant guide to Zen meditation.
This book takes the formidable 100,000-word classic Zen Training by the great master Katsuki Sekida and extracts its finest gems. Student Marc Allen has carefully chosen the passages most relevant to today, producing a readable work of six chapters covering the basics of posture and breathing, stages in training, and Katsuki Sekida's brilliant commentary on the classic series of pictures called "In Search of the Missing Ox."
A Guide To Zen starts with a luminoius summary of Zen and goes on to give a complete course in Zen Meditation.
