Named one of the 100 Best Spiritual Books of the Twentieth Century ( Spirituality & Practice ) A 50th Anniversary edition of the bestselling Zen classic on meditation, maintaining a curious and open mind, and living with simplicity. "In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few." So begins this most beloved of all American Zen books. Seldom has such a small handful of words provided a teaching as rich as has this famous opening line. In a single stroke, the simple sentence cuts through the pervasive tendency students have of getting so close to Zen as to completely miss what it's all about. It is an instant teaching on the first page--and that's just the beginning. In the fifty years since its original publication, Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind has become one of the great modern spiritual classics, much beloved, much reread, and much recommended as the best first book to read on Zen. Suzuki Roshi presents the basics--from the details of posture and breathing in zazen to the perception of nonduality--in a way that is not only remarkably clear, but that also resonates with the joy of insight from the first to the last page.

Simple and good for beginners
This book is an excellent introduction to the spirit of Zen. It focuses on simplicity, non-intellectualizing and on not longing for the fruits of the practice. However some of the examples may be cryptic and should be clarified. This may be due to the differences between asian minds and western minds. It is to be credited with me finally taking up formal meditation. However I am combining it with the precepts in Satipatthana: The Direct Path to Realization , undertaking an analysis of the various aspects of body, sensation, mind, and dharmas. Sometimes I aim for thoughtlessness, sometimes I aim for analysis. In any case the main aspect may be not to get attached to anything.
