Dear Mary,
"Zen in the art of archery", I think that's the book that started the interest in Zen in the Western world. I remember my father discussing it with his friends when I was a boy. I my adult years I found the mystical elements in it too difficult to accept. And now? My main interest is now body-mind states and their influence of motor performance. "Understanding Zen" by Radcliff/Radcliff helped me a lot to gain access to some of the main ideas of Zen. Read the reviews at www.amazon.com. Some people think it's a bad book, watering down the essence of Zen, but: who cares?
Kind regards, Andreas
