The guide "Zen Buddhism Step by Step" by Harry Mishō Teske offers a comprehensive introduction to the meditation of Zen Buddhism, specifically in the tradition of the Japanese Rinzai school. The author, an experienced Zen master, conveys the principles of Zen, which are based on continuous practice, with the goal of complete enlightenment. The path to enlightenment is described as simple yet challenging, with Zazen, the practice of sitting in silence, at its core. The reader receives valuable information about the practice, potential dangers, and strategies for overcoming obstacles. The book is also adorned with colorful illustrations by Christian Meier, which reinterpret the classic cycle of the ten oxherding pictures and vividly depict the journey of the Zen student.
