Only the second collection of Sawaki's teachings published in English
Translated, Edited, and with an Introduction by Arthur Braverman
Both a biography of one of the most influential Zen masters of the 20th century and a history of Zen Buddhism in Japan from the 1880s through the 1960s
Divided into three sections-"The Life", "The Teachings", and "Reflections"-Discovering the True Self follows Kodo Sawaki through his remarkable life, detailing his flight from an poor and abusive home in Ishinden in the 1880s as a child through to his death as a respected Zen teacher in 1965
Presented alongside Braverman's Narratives of Sawaki's life are translated excerpts of Sawaki's teachings, transcribed interviews with Sawaki, and instructive quotes from Sawaki
Functions as a biography as well as an anthology of Sawaki's teachings-this is a wonderfully bright and accessible work of Zen scholarship
Braverman is a genuine expert with decades of experience writing, translating, and collecting Zen teachings and histories
Joan Halifax Roshi wrote of Braverman's 1989 biography of Zen Master Bassui: "How wonderful! Not only the words of Zen Master Bassui, but also his marrow." The same is true with this latest celebration of Kodo Sawaki-not just his words, but also his marrow.
