Title: How to Do Zazen

Author: Shodo Harada Roshi

Translated by Priscilla Daichi Storandt and Thomas Yuho Kirchner



How to Do Zazen is a detailed introduction to the practice of zazen (Zen meditation), distilled from years of Harada Shodo Roshi's teachings to his Western students. The first section of the book covers all of the basic aspects of zazen, including physical posture, breathing, and mental focus. This is followed by a question-and-answer section that presents Harada Roshi's views on a wide variety of issues relating to Zen practice. In the appendix readers will find the Sino-Japanese readings and English translations of many of the sutras and dharanis commonly recited in Zen practice centers, including the Heart Sutra, the Great Compassion Dharani, the Enmei Jukku Kannongyo, and others. Thoroughly practical in nature, How to Do Zazen will be welcomed by meditators both beginning and advanced.
