Shunryu Suzuki: Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind: Informal Talks on Zen Meditation and Practice (1973) 4 stars

our beginners mind includes everything within it, without narrowing

5 stars

A not-quite introduction to Zen, the wonder and presence of what is already familiar and immediate, studied closely from a position of openness without the goal of attaining anything. Compiled from short talks and given structure starting from practice and form, to attitudes and feeling, to understanding and mindset, around again to "true understanding is practice itself".
