I had planned to wait to write a review after I\u2019d read the whole tamale but its lookin\u2019 like that\u2019s not going to be for awhile so I\u2019d just like to say what a wonderful resource this is for koan students, for shikantaza students who might be curious, and for those who are thinking about jumping into Mu.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be recommending this to my students without reservation. Click here to buy this book now<\/a>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

James and Melissa (the editors) are superbly skillful teachers of the koan way and have selected a treasure trove of perspectives. Of what I\u2019ve read so far, I\u2019ve especially enjoyed the contributions of Roko Sherry Chayat and Grace Schireson for the palpable sense of Mu-energy that exudes from their writing.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This book will be read and valued for decades.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
