Originally written by Christmas Humphreys, the founder of the Buddhist Society, this is an introduction to the background and principles of Zen Buddhism. Revised by Stephen Hodge, this edition discusses the basic doctrine of Buddhism and the principles of Mahayana Buddhism. Having described the background to the Zen school of Buddhism, it turns to Zen itself and the process of self training towards the Zen experience of reality. The book hopes to guide readers to the experience of Zen, to bring heightened consciousness, spiritual fulfillment and enlightenment.
