I've been doing zazen for quite some time now, but this was a good read none the less, especially since the last couple years I've been practicing alone. The first half of the book is a nice, quick read and does a good job of explaining the subtilties of sitting Zen posture in a quick, direct way and I plan to check back in with it here and there until I can rejoin a sangha. The second half is a written dharma discourse that's quite nice to read as well. All in all, a good book for beginners but still some use for non-beginners as well!

The report takes the unusual step of recommending that the public health toll of such relaxation should be accepted as an essential national risk. It proposes a new concept, "permissible deaths," which would be used in evaluating decontrol steps. "People die in any event," the report's conclusion argues. "While Americans certainly deserve a cleaner environment in the future, they must have a healthy economy now. And since the former cannot be achieved without the latter, rational priorities must ensure that industry's health take first place."
