Zen Buddhism: a beginner's guide to the school of Rinzai Zen
The Rinzai school of Buddhism is a minority in the west, but its lessons are just as fundamental as any other sect of Buddhism. I have studied Buddhism for the last ten years, and have made it my life long mission to educate others that want to hear about this fascinating faith. Unlike religions of the west, Buddhism has a much more difficult lineage to follow, and often the differences between schools of Buddhism go unnoticed. The aim of this book is to educate on the foundation of the Rinzai School; where it started, its mission, how it's different from other schools, and how it can be used in your life today.

• A history of the Rinzai School of Buddhism, written by an expert and designed for beginners.
• A guide to meditating in the Rinzai style through the use of koans.
• Detailed information about the historic sites of Rinzai Zen in Japan.
• Essential information about the formation of Buddhism, its ideals, and the region of the world it came from.
• A heartfelt explanation of Rinzai Buddhism, written by someone with over ten years of experience.
