Zen Pivots: Lectures On Buddhism And Zen
by Sokei-an, Shigetsu Sasaki, Mary Farkas
Category: Religion

A companion to The Zen Eye, this volume continues the exploration of the vigorous and eloquent teachings of Sokei-An, one of the first masters to bring the living thought and practice of zen to the shores of America. Consisting of talks that he gave to his students in New York City in the 1930s and 1940s, the work shows the range of his grasp of Buddhist thought and his eye for how this exotic teaching could be transplanted into everyday life, language and culture of his adopted land.
