More Description"To learn Buddha's way is to learn your self. To learn your self is to forget your self," is the words of Zen Master Dogen who lived in Japan about eight hundred years ago. It is the central theme of Zen Master Suigan Yogo's talks in this book to interpret in terms of the present day world what Dogen means by "forget your self."

These talks are excerpted by the Author in a style of one-point lesson in nineteen chapters for reflection and contemplation. Associated with the manuscript are many photographs of Buddhist temples and other locations in Japan to enhance the reader's appreciation for peacefulness, and invite their interest in Japan's unique culture.
