"I felt a burden being lifted from my shoulders just by reading this remarkable book." --Oliver Burkeman
"Our way of sitting is for you to become yourself."
In this long-awaited book from one of the most influential spiritual teachers of the last century, Shunryu Suzuki Roshi shares simple, warmhearted teachings on a practice that is fundamentally about becoming yourself. In his inimitable style, filled with humor and insight, Becoming Yourself speaks directly to the newest beginners while also serving as a touchstone and a continual source of inspiration for even the most experienced practitioners and Zen teachers.
Becoming Yourself unearths new jewels from the late Suzuki's lectures and brings to light many of his unpublished teachings.
Becoming yourself is not meant to be understood as an idea; it is meant to be tried out as a way of being. It is "Just to sit," a practice of wholeheartedly being as you are, moment after moment, no matter what is happening. It is a practice of deeply connecting with how it feels to be alive in your surroundings, whether on a meditation cushion or not, and stepping forward from that connection. It is opening to your life, wherever you are, and finding right there a deep well of innate wisdom, compassion and care.
