"Shunryu Suzuki's extraordinary gift for presenting traditional Zen teachings using ordinary language is well-known to the countless readers of Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind. In Zen Is Right Now--a companion volume to Zen Is Right Here--Suzuki's teachings are brought to life through stories told by his students and selected quotes from his lectures. These living encounters with Zen are poignant, direct, humorous, paradoxical, and enlightening; and their setting in real-life contexts makes them wonderfully accessible"-- Provided by publisher.
