A companion volume to Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind, the bestselling book on Zen ever published.
"When you are not thinking that you have another moment, then naturally you can accept things as they are, you can see things as they are." ―Shunryu Suzuki
Thirty years after his death, Suzuki's first book, Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind continues to be one of the world's bestselling books on Buddhism. Now, this second volume contains his final lectures, given when he knew he was dying.
Rich with Suzuki’s simple, powerful words, the topics include living in each moment, expressing yourself fully, and "wherever you are, enlightenment is there." Whether speaking on changing karma or walking like an elephant ("Slowly without idea of hasty gain"), Suzuki Roshi's guidance empowers freedom rather than prescribing thought.
This extraordinary new collection allows Suzuki Roshi's presence to enter your life in the form of a wise, warm-hearted friend. Entirely in Suzuki’s own words, Not Always So is a special gift for anyone seeking spiritual growth and inner peace.

About the Author
Zen master Shunryu Suzuki (1904 - 1971) was a much beloved spiritual teacher. Born the son of a Zen master, Suzuki began his Zen training as a youngster in Japan. Suzuki came to San Francisco in 1959, and established the Zen Center in San Francisco with a training temple at Tassajara―the first such temple in the West. After a lengthy illness, he died of cancer in December, 1971.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
