Review

"Simple Guides Zen Buddhism will help you to appreciate the significance of this particular school of Buddhism, understand the history of Zen and 'Ways of Zen' and to discover how Zen is a way of life - not a belief system. The guide will also help you to avoid faux pas in conversation, travelling and personal relationships."
