### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    This is a book I will be rereadinng many times
  

*by J***T on Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2017*

I found this book to be life changing.  That may seem extreme, but life changing in that it clarified so much for me in such a readable, thoughtful and compassionate way.  I've been associated with Buddhism for several years now, mostly with teachers and a sangha in the Theravada tradition.  That said, a part of me has often gravitated to some Zen teachings.  I thought this book would provide useful information and clarity.  It did.  Not only is it useful for people interested in Zen, so much of what Norman Fischer writes is applicable to all as we move forward in our lives trying to be decent human beings.  I highly recommend this book.  I enjoyed its readable question/answer format.  This is a book for the curious, the beginner, the seasoned practitioner.  A deep bow of gratitude to the authors, Norman Fischer and Susan Moon.

    Responses to Questions You Couldn't Quite Ask
  

*by A***L on Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2017*

Although a Zen practitioner for over 50 years, I found this book a mind-opening revelation for pesky questions I've harbored for decades but hadn't the awareness or clarity to articulate, let alone suggest (multi-leveled) answers.  Thanks, Sue, for prompting such a bone-honest dialogue, and Norm, for your sublimely contextual and personally compassionate responses.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    No-nonsense introduction to real world Zen practice.
  

*by P***I on Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2016*

Zen teacher Norman Fischer adds his insightful and valuable commentary on Soto Zen practice in the spirit of Shunryu Suzuki, founder of the San Francisco Zen Center and author of the perennial bestseller "Zen Mind, Beginners Mind." The probing questions put forward by Susan Moon are answered by the teacher and the result of their collaboration is a no-nonsense guide about real world Zen practice. Highly recommend it for the curious, as well as the beginning or long standing practitioner.
