Rating:  - Beginners Mind
Anyone who has spent time reading and thinking about this stuff will know the term beginners mind. For those of you who do not and for those of you who do.... it is the idea that when you believe yourself to be an expert or to "know" you may be in deeper trouble then when you started. You have through gaining certain experiences closed your mind to the experience of the open mind of a beginner.

Rating: - Everyday Is Just About Right
Charlotte Joko Beck's teaching here is unmitigated wisdom. I do not sit regularly, but I do practice reflection on a daily basis (using a journal), and with regular writing forays. Perhaps the most useful lesson here is Beck's discussion of the "witness" experience, becoming an observer of moment-by-moment thoughts, emotions and bodily reactions. It is the closest thing to Zen in my experience, from what I can gather... so I am quite thankful for that... and for this book!
Rating: - Great book
Very practical and accessible. I've read a lot of zen books and I like the simplicity and yet substantive approach to the subject. It's a really good read.
Rating: - A Modern look at Zen, Wonderful!!
This very well written & appropriate for today's world is easy to read & very meaningful!! I bought a half dozen more for Christmas/Chanukah presents. It's been around a while, now I know why, can't wait to read it again & see what else can be gleaned now, & now, & now, etc. ;-)
It also has meaning to Martial Artists who exist in the moment!

This book opened my eyes. It is written in a simple language, when i read it i felt like the author was talking to me and all i had to do was kick back and listen.
