What often brings people to the practice of Zen is a sense that something is missing from their lives, that there must more. By turning to Zen, they acknowledge that this something lies not in externals, but rather in seeking to transcend desire and attachment. The journey toward that transcendence begins with questioning, and questions will be part of the path until awakening is attained. In this fascinating book renowned Zen master Albert Low addresses some of the questions students have posed about the practice of Zen: Why do we practice? Why should we seek to understand our reasons for practicing? How can we distinguish between true and false practice? What is awakening?...and so many more.
