Jane Dobisz: One hundred days of solitude - Losong myself and finding grace on a zen retreat

Product detailed description

In "One Hundred Days of Losing My Self and Finding Grace on a Zen Retreat", American teacher of Korean Zen Jane Dobisz (Zen Master Bon Yeon), recalls her first solitary meditation stint in the woods.

Luckily, this is not just a recounting of a winter's worth of cabin fever. Instead, Dobisz takes us into her cabin, and into her mind, as she tries - at least temporarily - to live a Walden-like existence. All the bowing and meditating and wood-chopping that is part and parcel of her retreat is hardly first nature, but the good-humored and tenacious Dobisz is able to adapt, and to relate her hundred days with moving insight and humanity. Her solitude in fact offers us all a chance to commune with her and to look inside and rediscover our own grace.
