“Zig Zag Zen is a must read for any-one who is concerned about the fu-ture of Buddhist practice.”

-Robert A. F. Thurman, Jey Tsong Khapa Prof of Indo-Tibetan Bud-dhist Studies, Columbia University

“Zig Zag Zen is a treasure trove: in-spiring, frightening, powerful, funny, eye-opening, and a source of great wisdom on a subject that our society finds endlessly confusing.”

-Mark Epstein, MD, author of Thoughts Without a Thinker and Going on Being
