Everyday Zen

This is a good book; mostly very practical and down-to-Earth words that point toward Zen. I think she goes a bit astray when she gets more abstract, and talks about The Master and "Thy Will Be Done"; this felt to me more like some Christian intrusion into her narrative. She says that The Master is not some external thing whose will is superior, but then she talks as though it (He?) was exactly that. Maybe these were some words aimed at getting through to some students coming from a theistic background or something, but taken out of whatever teaching context they happened in and put near the end of this book, I found them jarring and dualistic. Maybe that just points to some particular work I need to do myself. :)
