Tell Me Something About Buddhism: Questions and Answers for the Curious Beginner
by Zenju Earthlyn Manuel
Hampton Roads Publishing Co., Charlottesville, Virginia, 2011. 117 pages
At the beginning of her book, Zenju Unjust Earthlyn Manuel orients us toward a correct approach to Zen:
Yet this path cannot be taught, as it is wisdom that must surface within. You can only bring it alive with the actions of your life. You cannot just memorize it or find techniques of liberated speaking and behaving. The path can only be engaged by your living of it. It can only be engaged as an awakening of your own doing The path is difficult to grasp because it goes against our instincts to intellectually figure it out first rather than living it. (p. 5)
