Customer Reviews
Three Pillars of Zen - Rated I first read Roshi Philip Kapleau book on the summer of 1980. I feel it is still one of the most informative books wriiten on Zen Buddhism. I am sure it must be considered a classic by now. I find myself pulling this book off my shelf every few years and re-reading it. I feel that it is one of the few books written that introduce westerner's to the journey along the road of zen. Forget this book - Rated But first you must... buy this book read this book practice this book live this book become this book Then, if you have done this well, you can truly forget this book and forget yourself. The three pillars of Zen - Rated Certainly not for the beginner.I found I had to look up the words at the back if the book before I could finish the paragraph. It would be a good book for the more experienced An excellent all-rounder. - Rated This book gives detailed instructions for zazen practice, and encouraging accounts of kensho experiences. The contents reflect a tradition that is a balanced blend of both the soto and rinzai schools of thought. The Three Pillars is essential reading for any home practioner who does not have access to a zen teacher. Difficult to find words to describe this book. - Rated I am not a Buddhist, simply a human being seeking to know his true nature (please forgive the use of the word "seeking" :-). That said, I find this book to be revelatory in nature, a work for which there are no words. Even if you never have an intention to practice zazen, and are a Hindu or a Vedantist or a streetwalker or a businessman or a murderer, if you want to know who you are, this book will point you toward the moon and beyond.
