St. Nadie in Winter

by Terrance Keenan

This revolutionary Buddhist text has already become a minor classic in Zen literature. During dark nights of the soul, the book instructs, we can only follow the Three No Blame, Be Kind, Love Everything. Author Terrance Keenan's world--boyhood Catholicism, alcoholism, the struggles of maintaining honest relationships with his wife and children--is a mirror for every serious reader who wishes to make sense of life. Author Terrance Keenan is a Rinzai Zen Buddhist priest at the Zen Center of Syracuse.

[Rhonda · Rating 4 out of 5]

Written by one of the kindest men in the world, this gives a glimpse into his struggles with addiction and family love as well as his practice of Buddhism. There is also a helpful, unpretentious chapter on how to begin a meditation practice.

A deceptively simple book that I will read again. A beautiful little guidebook.

[Michael Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

Among the best texts for those inclined to Buddhist sensibilities, imho.
