About this listen

Throw open the gate to the original frontier of your creative mind discovered by Buddha, handed down to successive generations through India, China, and Japan, and now to America, in this age of increasing uncertainty.

A new, refreshing approach lays out the ancient secrets of the irreducibly simple method of Zen meditation, in easily accessible terms and digestible bites. Ranging from how Zen differs from popular meditations, to designing a contemporary Zen life, and including workarounds for all your excuses.

Based on sound principles of direct sensory immersion, simply sitting still enough for long enough, this user’s manual for Zen is presented step by step, encompassing personal dimensions of practice, as well as social implications for yourself and others. Zen enables you to embrace ambiguity in daily life, and to enjoy benefits to your health and happiness. Zen is always contemporary and holds the key to surviving, and thriving, in trying times.

This book is for those who have a serious interest in meditation. The Original Frontier is a thorough, yet uncomplicated guide for Zen practice: a unique resource for beginners and seasoned practitioners alike, as one of its listeners' testimonials puts it.

A unique approach to introducing Zen for both new practitioners, and for guiding maturing students in Zen. This is a book that simplifies the fundamentals of Soto Zen practice for new neophytes, and expands understanding of Zen for experienced practitioners, so that all can apply Zen in daily life. Written to be accessible, no matter the listener’s experience level, the author guides them away from pitfalls and back toward the deep end of the pool.
