Book Reviews of The Three Pillars of Zen: Teaching, Practice, and Enlightenment

Book Review: A Must have Book!
Summary: 5 Stars

I first read Roshi Philip Kapleau book on the summer of 1980. I feel it is still one of the most informative books wriiten on Zen Buddhism. I am sure it must be considered a classic by now. I find myself pulling this book off my shelf every few years and re-reading it. I feel that it is one of the few books written that introduce westerner's to the journey along the road of zen.
