The Way of Zen by David Scott
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a largely supeficial overview of Zen buddhism. There is history on India, Buddha himself and the spread into China and then Japan. Such standard Buddhism the Eight-Fold Path and Noble Truths are present. The classic text of what I know as The Ten Bulls (here "The Ox-herding Pictures") is here with commentary. Practical overview of monastic life in Asia and the West rounds out the book.
