Great Doubt: Practicing Zen in the World

The greater the doubt, the greater the awakening.

â€œIn this brief but remarkably thorough book, Boshan puts into words what it means to truly doubt. Not just to be skepticalâ€”but to push all the way to the very foundations. Anyone interested in Zen can learn a whole lot from this little book.â€
â€”from the foreword by Brad Warner, author of Hardcore Zen

â€œGreat doubt and great faith are foundations of Zen practice. This great gift of a book provides essential checkpoints along the path.â€ â€”Grace Schireson, author of Zen Women

â€œUpbeat, insightful, and inspiring teachingsâ€”a rich resource for all Buddhist practitioners.â€â€”Richard M. Jaffe, Duke University, author of Neither Monk nor Layman

â€œBoshan addresses the reader directly with vivid metaphors and stern (sometimes humorous) admonishments. He pulls no punchesâ€¦ These concise texts, not previously available in their entirety in English, offer classic wisdom for those exploring the Zen paths.â€â€”Publishers Weekly

â€œA classic Chinese text with clearâ€”andÂ inspiringâ€”commentariesâ€â€”Thomas Yuho Kirchner, translator ofÂ Entangling Vines
