Appreciate your life was one of Maezumi Roshi's favorite exhortation--a challenge, a joyous exclamation, a continously unraveling koan. This is the first, long-awaited collection of his teachings, a sampling of his teishos, formal talks intended to reach beyond the student's intellect, to her or his deepest essence. The source of all these talks is the living experience of a teacher working with his students. They are meant to be absorbed into our lives if they are to fulfill their goal--to let us become thoroughly intimate with our lives. 144 pp., hc.
