TO KNOW YOURSELF

Talks , stories , and articles on Zen

By Albert  Low

Charles E. Tuttle Co., Inc

Boston. Rutland, Vermont . Tokyo

PREFACE

This book contains a collection of articles, talks, and stories that I have Written, given, or used over the past seventeen years as teacher and director of the Montreal Zen Center. Some of these first appeared in the Montreal Zen center magazine Zen Gong. These include: “Some Thoughts About Practice”, “Know Yourself”, “the Mountain of Inertia”, “Wonder of Wonder”, “Fear of Failure”, “on Pain”, and “At Sea”. A few of them, including “The Life of Buddha, the Life of Everyone”, “Shrinking Zen”, and “A Sesshin”, were written during my three years tenure as editor of the Rochester Zen Center magazine Zen Bow, and they are reproduced with the kind permission of the Rochester Zen Center. The three commentaries on the koans were originally given as talks during a retreat held in Montreal, but have been edited and enlarged. The style of presentation was considerably changed in order to make them more accessible to general readers outside the Montreal Zen Center, whose members have become used to the language of these kinds of talks.
