Title: On a withered tree, a flower blooms
Review: Good book by a real practitioner. It lightly touches every significant aspect of life. Very easy read. It also explains what Zen practice is and what isn't. There are too many books on as quazi-buddhism, unnecessarily complicating Zen with self-invented garbage. Zen is simply about being.It is written in simple language and may be read by anyone. Everyone is a beginner in Zen, anyway.Most importantly, the author does not present her writings as the absolute truth. Zen is about questioning, and Beck repeats it over and over again.If anything, the book requires an open mind. As it is said, "On a withered tree, a flower blooms".
