Why read it?
1 author picked What Is Zen? as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This was my first experience of being taken to the “place” from which the author wrote. Reading it was like sitting at the feet of the Master, aware of a lack of comprehension while witnessing a living example of what the heart intuitively knows.
