Grassroots Zen envisions a socially engaged Buddhism where zazen is integrated each day with work, family, and social obligations.Though both authors have practiced traditional Zen for decades here they eschew the militaristic, patriarchal tendencies of Zen in favor of ‘an egalitarian community of socially mobile members who place less emphasis upon transmission and hierarchy than on individual responsibility.’

关于作者
Perle Besserman is the award-winning author of numerous works of fiction and creative nonfiction, including several books on spirituality that were praised by Isaac Bashevis Singer for their “clarity and feeling for mystic lore” and by Publishers Weekly for the “wisdom [that] points to a universal practice of the heart.” Besserman’s books have been translated into over ten languages. She holds a doctorate in Comparative Literature from Columbia University and, together with Manfred Steger, is founding co-teacher of the Princeton Area Zen Group in Princeton, New Jersey.
