The River of Heaven: The Haiku of Basho, Buson, Issa, and Shiki
Praise forMiniatures of a Zen Master“In this sprightly collection of 188 short texts, [Aitken] offers brief stories, observations, memories, and commentaries. Those familiar with his bookEncouraging Wordswill appreciate the further evidence of this Zen Master’s wisdom.”  —Spirituality & Practice“Like some of the finest Zen literature, they read like the contents of one’s own mind and also like a mirror held up to show the mind’s quotidian chatter to be somehow pure.” —BuddhaDharma
