Embracing Mind: The Zen Talks of Kobun Chino Otogawa

Thanks for making Kobun’s teaching available. He was a treasure. The deep intimacy of his teaching comes through in these talks.

This is one of the rarest books,artfully written. Intimateand inspiring.Deeply spiritual and human and using Kobun Roshi words"still, in a chaotic confused world,splendid wisdom exists, if you are able to see it" Gassho to Roshi

Clearly written, full of insight for those like me, who practice meditation and study Buddhism.

The book needed a strong editor. Japanese English may convey Kobun's voice, but it quickly becomes tiresome for the reader. Steve Hagan's book Buddhism Plain and Simple would be a better choice for beginning students.

It is wonderful finally having Kobun Chino Roshi's words so readily available to read and savor. When I read this I feel as though I am in retreat with him and others. These are very intimate talks about the deep heart of sitting practice.

Amazing book and awesome service with shiping

It is wonderful, after so many years, to have Kobun Chino Otogawa's wise words between the covers of a book, beautifully edited and carefully presented. I grew up with these words and have hoped for a long time that they could be shared. It's a joy to see them in print at last.

Angie Boissevain's introduction tells us that we listen to Otogawa Roshi's talks with our heart and with our belly, that he speaks in spirals, not in linear lines. Yes. So valuable in these days when so much is written about what is actually not knowable.

Really enjoyed this book which I am researching for a project. New learnings and new thought processes. Sure it could be better but it stimulates the mind and shares an outlook we may not all coinsider.

Subject was what I wanted..Good condition reasonable price......promptdelivery
