Finger and the Moon: Zen Teachings and Koans By Alejandro Jodorowsky

The Finger and the Moon revisits Alejandro Jodorowsky’s studies with Zen master Ejo Takata in Mexico City. More than sixty teaching tales, stories, koans and haikus are accompanied by the author’s interpretations.

Humor and unexpected turns challenge habitual ways of thinking. The title’s image points beyond words toward experience, making this a distinctive encounter between Zen teaching and Jodorowsky’s creative sensibility.
