Negative Positive
Title: Garbage in, Garbage out.
Review: It's truly a shame that there is no 'zero star' choice. For it would be both a beautiful embrace of the void and the perfect commentary for 'Dark Zen' in general and this book of garbage specifically. Dark Zen is considered to be a cult by the majority of Buddhist practitioners and a joke by the remaining minority. The Dark Zen web site reads as though it was created by a 12 year old in Beaverton, OR who had just watched Star Wars, skimmed a few Zen-themed books and downed 8 Red Bull sodas (while torturing his hamster). Aside from the obvious spelling mistakes and poor grammar there is an undercurrent of racism, elitism and pretty much everything that Buddhism (in general) speaks against. Pretty much anything would be better than this book in terms of learning about Buddhism. Even Snoopy makes a better Zen master than this fake.
