The modern Zen teacher Jeff Shore leaves no question about the practice of Zen unanswered. It becomes clear what levels one can reach in meditation and where the pitfalls lie. What exactly is a Samadhi, a state of uninterrupted concentration, as opposed to a state of deep meditation and true realization? What is meant by the term Non-Self, which describes our true nature in Buddhism? And how does the famous Koan practice really work? For all Zen practitioners, "The Path Begins Beneath Your Feet" is indispensable. It is a lifelong companion guide written from palpable direct experience and for direct experience. Zen Master Jeff Shore inspires with his vivid teachings a path that leads directly to the experience of oneness. From this inner center, one remains.
