What is Zen?

Norman Fischer & Sue Moon

What is Zen?

Shambhala

An accessible and enjoyable introduction to Zen Buddhist practice, the Q&A format features the esteemed Zen teacher Norman Fischer and his old friend and teaching colleague Susan Moon (both of them in the lineage of Shunryu Suzuki). Together, they playfully give a good basic education in Zen–not only the history, theory, and practice but also the contemporary issues, such as gender inequality, sexual ethics, and the tension between Asian traditions and the modern American reality.
