The Zen Mind
Journey across Japan to explore the practice of Zen: witness the daily routine of a monk; go inside the walls of the zen monastery to a world never imagined by outsiders; step inside the zendo where the monks sit in zazen as they search for the middle path to enlightenment. Every aspect of zen is uncovered - from a zen centre in the middle of the bustling streets of Tokyo, to the mountains above Kyoto. Includes interviews with major zen masters and roshi.
