Cindy,

I submitted it and it should be an easy validation if you are interested. Or how about your sister - is she a volunteer?

Amy,

Is this a book you've submitted or one you want added
to the Wish List?

Hi,

A completely different topic this time. I can not do
better than to quote from the book cover: inside the
front flap:


"We say, to shine one corner of the world - that is
enough. Nit the whole world. Just make it clear
where  you are."  Shunryu Suzuki

And from inside the back cover:

"Shunryu Suzuki's extraordinary gift was for
bringing  to life Zen teachings in ordinary
language. He arrived in San Franciso in 1959 and
founded the San Francisco Zen Center and Tassajara
Zen Mountain Center, the first Buddhist monastery in
and for the Western world. By the time of his death,
twelve years later, he had deeply influenced
thousands of people and made an indelible impression
on the spiritual landscape of the West." On need not
be Buddhist nor religious in any way to appreciate
the wisdom contained in this book, and there is
kindness and humor therein as well. A lot to get
from a very short book."

And from a non-Buddhist point a view I never pick it
up but find something to give me pause and make me
reread and even read again even be it only one
sentence.
