Sitting with Koans

The Zen tradition has just two main meditative practices: shikantaza, or "e;just sitting"e;; and introspection guided by the powerful Zen teaching stories called koans. Following in the tradition of The Art of Just Sitting (endorsed as a "e;A book we have needed for a long, long time"e;), this new anthology from John Daido Loori illuminates the subtle practice of koan study from many different points of view.
