Christmas Humphreys
What is Zen? If you asked a true Zen master he might tweak your nose, scowl fiercely, or roar with laughter, whichever he thought would stir your spirit awakeâ€”for that is the object of Zen. Humphreys, however, who has practiced both Zen & the law with equal success for more than thirty years, is kinder. He does give the reader an ideaâ€”a very good ideaâ€”of what it is all about. He describes, with some of the endlessly amusing stories that center on this vigorous school of Buddhism, its origin & influence in China & Japan, some of its techniques, & its English affinities. Anyone who recognizes the super-sense behind the non-sense of Edward Lear or Lewis Carroll is already halfway to Zen.
