Elihu Genmyo Smith
These days, when Zen has become a kind of shorthand for anythingÂ  thatâ€™s enigmatic or aesthetically spare, itâ€™s refreshing be reminded that Zen is at heart a practice for waking up from the dream we inhabitâ€”in order to free ourselves from the suffering the dream imposes on us. Elihu Genmyo Smithâ€™s eminently practical Zen teaching never loses sight of that central concern: Whether it takes the form of ,zazen, (meditation), ,koan, work, or just eating your breakfast, the aim of Zen practice is always nothing other than intimacy with ourselves and everything around us.
