Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind by Shunryu Suzuki (Author), Peter Coyote (Narrator)
, 5 Oct 2014
This is a perfect audio-book for any person starting zen practice. It lasts about one hour. It gives the listener the basics of zazen regarding basic approach, posture, breathing, bowing and mental attitude and philosophical understanding. The book is very practical but it has many pearls of wisdom that make you understand what zazen is, and how you can apply it to your daily life.
Peter Coyote does a great job a reading the book. I love his voice, intonation, speed, conviction, and the feeling he gives to what he reads.
The short length of the book, about one hour, makes it a perfect tool for spare time listening.
A Classic.
The book is abridged, and it is pity. The hard copy is barely 181 pages, and a longer book would have not bothered anybody. Quite the contrary.
