Two Arrows Meeting in Mid-Air: The Zen Koan

by John Daido Loori

Overview

One of the few commentaries on Zen koans by an American Zen master. Twenty-one chapters centered on koans from classic collections, western literary sources, and modern encounters, the talks in this book take up different subjects such as intimacy, illness and healing, the perils of the spiritual path, among others. Together, these discourses show the importance and relevance of the Zen koan as a powerful tool of spiritual study not limited to intellectual comprehension.
