Breath Sweeps Mind: The Intimate Heart of Zen

In a poetic reflection from an awakened insight, the 13th-century Zen master Keizan Jokin wrote: ?Most people want to have pure clarity, but sweep as you will, you cannot empty the mind.? On Breath Sweeps Mind, Jakusho Kwong presents his inspired response to this Zen paradox to offer you an ?Everyday Zen? that you can practice right now. Join this dharma successor to the late Shunryu Suzuki-roshi as he opens you to the world as seen through the eyes of a true Zen master?and the liberation we find in ?just sweeping.?
