If the answers we are seeking were in the places we have been looking, we would have already found them. The great majority of us learn as children to distrust our ability to know what is so and to look outside ourselves for answers. In "The Key," author Cheri Huber suggests that sitting down, being still and looking inward will lead us to clarity and freedom.

Synopsis:

These insights from many years of Zen meditation practice appeal to a wide range of spiritual traditions and explore topics such as the difference between process and content, notions of right and wrong, ending self-punishment, and taking responsibility for one's experiences. Perfect for beginning Zen students and for those interested in Buddhism in general or eastern religion, it features deep spiritual insights and playful illustrations that add warmth and approachability to the topic.
