Book Review: On Zen Practice - Body, Breath, & Mind by Taizan Maezumi & Bernie Gassman

This book provides practical advice on breathing, sitting, walking, bowing, and other aspects of Zen practice. Although I didn’t understand everything, I also appreciated the chapter on Shikantaza and Koans. Like a lot of Zen and Buddhism books, a 2nd reading is helpful, at least for me; however, some of this stuff just can’t be explained in words. I'm learning so much through reading but know that I need a teacher to further my understanding.
