In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few.

So begins this most beloved of all American Zen works. In a single stroke, the simple sentence cuts through the pervasive tendency students have of getting so close to Zen as to completely miss what it's all about. In the years since its original publication, Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind has become one of the great modern Zen classics. Suzuki Roshi presents the basics of Zen in a way that is remarkably clear and resonates with the joy of insight.

Read by Emmy-award winning narrator Peter Coyote, this audio will be listened to time and time again as an inspiration to practice.

I believe this book offers a good understanding of what Zen is and it’s practice.

The authors explains in words the big concepts of buddhism in such a way that it makes sense for everyone to understand.

What I mean is the explanation of enlightenment and big mind in modern and no uncertain terms.

If you want a short and clear exposition of zen even if you are a beginner or you had some practice before I highly recommend this book.

Excelent book

The sound was really low and sounded like Iturraspe voice speaks from behind a wall. Nevertheless, the book is really valuable.
