This book is Nonomura's recollection of his experiences. He skillfully describes every aspect of training, including how to meditate, how to eat, how to wash, even how to use the toilet, in a way that is easy to understand no matter how familiar a reader is with Zen Buddhism. This first-person account also describes Nonomura's struggles in the face of beatings, hunger, exhaustion, fear, and loneliness, the comfort he draws from his friendships with the other trainees, and his quiet determination to give his life spiritual meaning. . * see pictures maybe this will do it .LAX Vespa,Los Angeles Culver City- Media Mail USPS-you get the copy you were viewing carefully Drop kick-packed- in foam core- to protect it in transit - sent media mail - 7 days usually coast to coast, less if closer. -- 6 TOM MK
