Letters to a Dead Friend About Zen
Hardcore Zen
Text
An epistolary introduction to Zen practice and doctrine written as letters to Warner's recently deceased childhood friend Marky. The form lets Warner cover the foundations — sitting, the precepts, karma, the dharma of friendship — in a tone closer to private correspondence than to his earlier polemics.
