From the Back Cover\nBorn amidst the ruins of war-ravaged Japan, young Mokuzu must find his way in a volatile world where ancient certainties clash with the rawest necessities and energies of human life. Forced from an early age to confront poverty, madness, and the mysteries of love and death, he is drawn to the life of training as a Buddhist monk, entering the most austere of all monasteries, where the intensity of the monks' trials is matched by the powerful presence of the Zen master. Mokuzu emerges from this crucible with a view unmistakably his own, unshakably grounded in Buddhist truth, to travel alone among rogues and lost souls, would-be lovers and gangsters, teachers and prostitutes, swindlers and innocents - deepening his humanity and continuing his endless training. With its fascinating wealth of detail and range of knowledge and insight, Mind to Mind could only have come from a writer of rare gifts and experience. It offers a unique and unforgettable gateway to the timeless meaning and real practice of Buddhism. Readers curious about the more familiar features of Zen training, the koans and austerities, as well as the motivations and attainment of those engaged in it, will find an account that is not only vivid and illuminating, but refreshingly unvarnished. It is an account also buttressed by a scholar's profound knowledge of authentic Buddhist texts in their original languages (many of which appear here for the first time in an authoritative and accurate English translation). 
Mind to Mind is in great part a story about getting to the living core of Buddhism, as it exists not in traditions or sources, but in living itself.
