<p>This book gives an explanation of the age-old technique of the Zen masters which the author learned in Japan.

Religion & Spirituality

Unwin Paperbacks

<p>Rather than dwell on differences between the Eastern and Western spirits, the author of this book argues that we should focus on the more important division between the deathly stasis of clung-to positions and the dynamic movement of true religious life. Writing about compassion (particularly in the work of doctors and therapists), maturity and old age, and partnering the dying, this book offers insights for all those interested in lifting humaneness to a higher level.</p>
