Kopp, a student of and dharma successor to the Zen master Soji Enku Roshi, claims that Zen is "the true foundation of all religions. Zen opens our eyes to the great mystery of our universal nature." Kopp uses quotations from Buddhist, Christian, and other mystics to point the way toward letting go egoism and gaining true enlightenment. His explanation of the Buddhist doctrine of no-self and of the deceptive nature of phenomena prepares readers for what Kopp calls the way of active meditation, which he outlines while stressing the need for a Zen master, not a pseudoguru. Recommended for collections in Eastern religions and comparative mysticism.
