NOT ALWAYS SO: Practicing The True Spirit Of Zen by Shunryu Suzuki

Not Always So collects Shunryu Suzuki’s Zen lectures, selected and edited by Edward Brown. The talks offer a way to encounter his teaching in a spoken, conversational form, with chapters including “Enjoy Your Life.”

Readers who know Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind can return to the same teacher in another collection. Its focus is Zen practice and ordinary life, rather than a set program of fixed techniques.
