Book presentation from the Good Company archive.
"Entering the Way is not difficult, But you must not love, or hate, or choose, or reject." It took eight years for Rei Ryu Philippe Coupey to complete his kusen (oral commentary) on the Shinjinmei of Master Sosan. Given during zazen (sitting practice) by a respected teacher, kusen are the genuine, immediate link between teaching and practice in Zen. This collected work vivifies the ancient Zen text for modern students of the Way, and is a valuable resource for all those interested in Eastern thought and religion.
