Zen Buddhism by Malcolm David Eckel

Dr. Eckel is a unique scholar who "thinks in new ways" and yet he remains clear and penetrating throughout. He is a mesmerizing story teller who, like the Buddha, radiates enlightenment as he teaches.

If you asked him about it though, he'd smile and ask you about emptiness. Or he'd tell you something about direct experiential encounters or the transmission of nonverbal teachings. He might bark. Or he might also start talking about mountain tops.

Listen carefully. You might wake up.
