Henry Shukman is one of our most inspired, skillful and quietly brilliant teachers. British by origin, he’s lived in America for decades and written a magnificent biography called A Blade of Grass and now in his new masterpiece, Original Love, gives all of us the distilled and shining wisdom of a lifetime.
I consider this book one of the most important written in the last twenty years and supremely valuable to us now in all the turbulent uncertainty we are living through. The Zen tradition transcends ideology and even religion by offering us a direct radical path of immediate connection with our own inner divinity and the divinity of the creation. Seekers on all paths can pursue Zen meditation as a fierce and practical way of being in naked oneness with reality.
I was lucky enough to have an hour long conversation with Henry on his new book and I offer our sacred communion to you with great joy to inspire and encourage you.
Please give yourself the gift of buying Henry’s new book. It will give you several very powerful practices and a very rich overview of the Zen path.
