Zen Master Class: A Course in Zen Wisdom from Traditional Masters by Stephen Hodge Published by Quest Books, 2002 8.5 x 0.5 x 10.25 inches Softcover, 144 pages. ISBN 9780835608183 EXCELLENT, Clean Condition w/ cover scuffs. "A historical introduction to Zen, which traces the development of this Chinese-Japanese school of Buddhism through biographical sketches of its most important figures from the sixth century BCE to the nineteenth century. In the process, it provides an introduction to the basic tenets and practices of Zen, which is as much a system of mental discipline as a religion. I found it interesting for its revelations concerning the role of Zen, and Buddhism in general, in Chinese and Japanese history and culture." --sd
