Book Reviews of Unborn: The Life and Teachings of Zen Master Bankei, 1622-1693
Book Review: A great, practical book on Zen, of exceptional excellence
Summary: 5 Stars
Speaking from his own direct experience, with absolute clarity, consummate skill, and deep compassion, Master Bankei taught all who cared to learn. Pure Zen, taught to be understood, with no extraneous bits. This clear translation is such that it is impossible for the reader to not have genuine insights, and valuable, real life, spiritual guidance. Bankei was a Zen teacher of great genius, and one must be very grateful for Norman Waddell's excellent translation.
