Title: Zen is development
Description: ZID is an account of a development paralleling the ten ox herding pictures following the first motivation through to 'the return to the Market place'.  It is said that if you can work through the koan on the dust cover you 'see' much of what is in the book.  It has 120 odd short chapters mostly sharp, with the idea that if you can face 'change' itself there is 'a way' that has huge benefits for the searcher and everybody they come into contact with.  It tends to be popular with Zen Christians as well as Buddhists.
