" The Three Pillars of Ze n is still, in my opinion, the best book in English that has been written on Zen Buddhism." --Huston Smith, author of The Worlds' Religions and Forgotten Truth "The Three Pillars of Zen heralded the end of armchair Buddhism.

It still is." --Helen Tworkov, founding editor of Tricycle: The Buddhist Review and author of Zen in America "For over thirty years Roshi Kapleau's Three Pillars of Zen has been the wellspring of Zen teachings for practitioners in the West, remaining as vital and fresh today as it was when it was originally published.
