Sit: Zen Teachings of Master Taisen Deshimaru
Sit
Text
A posthumous English-language anthology of Deshimaru's kusen, edited by Philippe Reiryū Coupey at the Paris dōjō from transcripts of zazen sessions held at the AZI in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The book is organised around fundamental Sōtō themes — the posture, breath, the bodhisattva precepts, the relation of zazen to ordinary life — and is widely used as the introductory English text in Deshimaru-line dōjōs.
