Teach Yourself Zen: A Way Of Life

This well-known introduction to Zen explains and points the way to the experience of Zen, bringing heightened consciousness, spiritual fulfillment and enlightenment.

With this book, Christmas Humphreys, founder of the Buddhist Society, London - now the oldest and largest Buddhist organisation in Europe - has made an important contribution to the understanding of Zen. He begins by discussing the basic doctrine of Buddhism and the expanded principles of Mahayana Buddhism. Having described the background to the Zen school of Buddhism, he turns to Zen itself and examines the actual process of self-training towards the Zen experience of Reality.
