Title: Modern Zen's Finest Explanation
Review: Uchiyama was one of the great modern Zen teachers, and maybe the best example of the "nothing special" type of Soto Zen. If you want a glamorous, esoteric book about Zen heroism this is not for you. If you want a rational, graceful, peaceful explanation of what Zen meditation is and what it can do for your life, please buy this book. Also search on google for Uchiyama's teacher's writings, Kodo Sawaki - another of the great Buddhist teachers that the west knows very little about.
