Zen Wrapped in Karma Dipped in Chocolate: A Trip Through Death, Sex, Divorce, and Spiritual Celebrity in Search of the True Dharma
Hardcore Zen
Text
A memoir of the year Warner's marriage ended, his mother died, and his Tsuburaya Productions job collapsed — and what those losses revealed about the difference between Zen practice and Zen as performance. One of the few Western Zen books built around personal catastrophe rather than instruction.
