Taking the Path of Zen
From
the Back Cover
"I welcome with great pleasure Robert Aitken Roshi's introduction
to Zen practice, Taking the Path of Zen. I feel this will be a
valuable source of information and inspiration both for those who have
a passing interest in the subject and those who have determined to set
out on the path of Zen themselves.
-
As an American who has trained in Zen practice for many years Aitken Roshi has a special understanding of the problems and questions which plague Western students of Zen. His book will thus be a godsend for people who have sought an introduction to Zen in their own language, free of the foreignisms that cultural differences can produce.
It is my sincere wish that this work will gain the wide readership it so deserves."

Zen in readable form...
After reading many books that attempted to explain Zen, I stumbled on this work by Robert Aitken. By far, Aitken puts into words what many authors have failed to. His easy-to-understand writing style makes what was once an impossible task; putting Zen into a western context, seem natural. Aitken helps those of us who do not understand Japanese get a glimpse into the world of Zen and its philosophies. There are many books on the topic, but few offer as much information to the beginner. - Robert
