This is Zen Teacher Zoketsu Norman Fischer’s commentary on the fifty-nine slogans that make up the Tibetan practice of lojong, or mind training. There are not many explicit teachings on compassion in Zen, so this commentary both shows the slogans from a fresh perspective, and highlights the importance of compassion in a tradition that stresses wisdom. A clear, very readable study from a thoughtful writer and teacher. Paperback, 156 pages.
