Paperback. Condition: Good. Practising the true spirit of Zen. Not Always So is based on Shunryu Suzuki's lectures and is framed in his own inimitable, allusive, paradoxical style, rich with unexpected and off-centre insights. Suzuki knew he was dying at the time of the lectures, which gives his thoughts an urgency and focus even sharper than in the earlier book. In Not Always So Suzuki once again voices Zen in everyday language with the vigour, sensitivity, and buoyancy of a true friend. Here is support and nourishment. Here is a mother and father lending a hand, but letting you find your own way. Here is guidance which empowers your freedom (or way-seeking mind), rather than pinning you down to directions and techniques. Here is teaching which encourages you to touch and know your true heart and to express yourself fully, teaching which is not teaching from outside, but a voice arising in your own being.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. A companion volume to Shunryu Suzuki's first book, Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind, this is a collection of thirty-five lectures taken from the last three years of Suzuki's life. It has been masterfully edited by Edward Espe Brown, bestselling author and one of Suzuki's students. Not Always So is framed in Suzuki's own inimitable, allusive, paradoxical style, rich with unexpected and off-center insights.

Wise and inspirational, Not Always So is a wonderful gift for anyone seeking spiritual fulfillment and inner peace. 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.Edward Espe Brown was ordained as a Zen priest in 1971 by Shunryu Suzuki, who gave him the name Jusan Kainei, "Longevity Mountain, Peaceful Sea." While a student at the Tassajara Zen Mountain Center, he wrote two best-selling books, The Tassajara Bread Book and Tassajara Cooking. "Transcriptions that both read well on the page and capture the style, humor, and solid grasp evident in his first volume. But this is no Zen Mind sequel, and will prove highly valuable to anyone, rank novice or Zen master."--Publishers Weekly.…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Personal stories and anecdotes of the trailblazing Zen teacher Suzuki Roshi--now reissued in hardcover in tandem with the publication of the follow-up volume, Zen Is Right Now. Shunryu Suzuki's extraordinary gift for presenting traditional Zen teachings using ordinary language is well known to the countless readers of Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind. In Zen Is Right Here, his teachings are brought to life through stories told by his students. These living encounters with Zen are poignant, direct, humorous, paradoxical, and enlightening--and their setting in real-life contexts makes them wonderfully accessible. Like the Buddha himself, Shunryu Suzuki gave profound teachings that were skillfully expressed for each moment, person, and situation he encountered. He emphasized that while the essence of Buddhism is constant, the expression of that essence is always changing. Each of the stories presented here is an example of this versatile and timeless quality, showing that the potential for attaining enlightenment exists right here, at this very place.…
