reviewed Blowing Zen: Finding an Authentic Life on September 06, 2016 Blowing Zen: Finding an Authentic Life
I really enjoyed this book. Ray's journey as a "gaijin komuso" in Japan is both entertaining and inspiring. His ability to incorporate Zen perspectives into everyday (and not so everyday) events is refreshing.
The author has clearly put a lot of effort into making this book fun and accessible for the reader, even those without much prior knowledge of Zen concepts. Those with an interest in Zen or Buddhist theory may find the book more compelling overall, but the portions of the work dealing with travel, music, and life in Japan are more than enough to interest even a casual reader.
