The Heart of Buddhist Meditation
A classic by the pioneering and very learned German monk who was aware of contemporary Western needs. Very good book.
Nyanaponika Thera
1973
1. Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind
This classic first collection of Suzuki Roshi's lectures, published in the 1970's, is a wonderful introduction to Zen teachings, from basic posture in meditation to emptiness and enlightenment.
Shunryu Suzuki
1974
Buddhist Thought in India
Conze was a great scholar. His translations, especially of the Prajna literature (see Topic 9, Emptiness Teachings), remain standard after more than forty years. This book is his classical discussion of the basics of Buddhist psychology and philosophy. The reader must be patient with his quirky and supercilious style, which is great fun once you get used to it.
Edward Conze
1999
1. Taking Our Places: The Buddhist Path to Truly Growing Up
Taking Our Places: the Buddhist Path to Truly Growing Up, is a book about spiritual practice as a journey toward true human maturity based on mentoring work Norman did with a group of four boys on the cusp of adulthood. Taking Our Places discusses the practices and the values that can deepen our lives as we grow. It includes chapters on meditation, listening, suffering, and ethical conduct.
