A Reader Review
one man's journey from muscle working to zen
energy healing, September 14, 2001
Reviewer: dradick
(see more about me at Amazon.com)
from Atlanta, GA USA
The author presents his life story of beginning work on
massage and muscle work, to his learning Rolfing and
Feldenkrais, to his work with a Zen Kendo (and healer)
master. Along the way, you are treated with fantastic
stories of transformation and healing, all presented in a
matter-of-fact way, without ornamentation or (much)
philosophy. Rather than trying to proselytize or show why
"his way" is the "best way", the
author tells a tale of his personal transformation and
growth and the potential inside us all. Highly
recommended.

A Reader Review
Zen training Tutor, December 3, 2000
Reviewer: Michael Ramos (see more about me at Amazon.com)
from Melbourne, FL USA
Introduction to Zen Training, Sanzen Nyumon is one of the
few books to address the many questions that naturally
arise as one begins to train. Questions range from the
elementary of how long one should sit at a time to the
more intensive of how to maintain concentration when not
sitting. Omori Rotatishi was best able to convey his
points by drawing upon his vigorous training as a martial
artist of the samurai era and his scholarship in both
Chinese and Japanese bringing to life the many
traditional Zen teaching stories.
The book provides an introduction to the physical nature
of training, discussing ones state of mind, the
physiology, breath, posture, pain, and drowsiness.
Training is placed in a context which gives sitting
meditation depth and breadth. Sanzen Nyumon discusses the
rationale for zazen, the foundation of Zen training.
Zazen, while seemingly a simple activity, is not just
"quiet sitting" and its value remains in fully
understanding the subtleties of the activity. The book
also provides instructions on how to sit zazen, and how
to adjust one's breath, posture and mental state. --This

From the Back Cover
A potent source of inspiration for anyone interested in
the therapeutic potential of Buddhism. David Brazier
writes with clarity and authority about the Zen way."—Mark
Epstein, M.D. author of Thoughts Without a Thinker:
Psychotherapy from a Buddhist Perspective.
"Comprehensive and readable . . . should appeal to
anyone broadly interested in Buddhism."—Helen
Sieroda psychosynthesis psychotherapist.
In this book, psychotherapist David Brazier offers
readers in the West a fresh perspective on Buddhist
psychology and demonstrates how Zen Buddhist techniques
are integrated into psychotherapy. Writing from the
viewpoint of a Western psychotherapist, Dr. Brazier
successfully demystifies Buddhist psychology, explains
the conceptual foundations of Buddhist thought, and with
the help of vivid case studies, clearly demonstrates how
a Buddhist approach can provide a practical path to
personal growth.
