Advance Praise for One Blade Of Grass "What a wonderful and generous book this is, Roshi Shukman sharing so openly his particular path into the depths of Zen, and sharing also those depths themselves. If you've ever wondered how a messed up kid like you or me might master the wisdom of Zen, One Blade Of Grass is the adventure for you. It's great company--and after reading it, you might recognize that you're further along than you imagined." --David Hinton, editor and translator of The Four Chinese Classics and author of The Wilds of Poetry "There's no two ways about it. Henry Shukman has a seductively natural style of writing. And the story he tells is both informative and inspiring. Shukman grew up in a culturally rich but physically and emotionally painful situation. Upon encountering the writings of Zen Master Dogen, he was fortunate to have an early experience of the reality that mountains dance. This planted a seed which eventually bore the fruit of happiness at the deepest level--happiness independent of conditions. Read and be encouraged." --Shinzen Young, author of The Science of Enlightenment "This heartfelt and beautifully written memoir provides one of the most insightful, informative, and honest accounts of Zen practice yet to appear in English." --Stephen Batchelor, author of After Buddhism "Henry Shukman's autobiographical journey from childhood trauma to healing teacher, from the glamorous life of a successful young writer to the quiet of the meditation cushion, from the torment of eczema to the ecstasy of no-self, fascinated me all the way, in part because Shukman can articulate both inner and outer experience with poetic precision and nuance. He manages to capture here how one might have a profound experience just this side of ineffable, and how it might become central to a person's life. There is Zen wisdom here for those who want to learn more about Zen, presented in the most unpretentious way possible, with writing that resonates in the heart and mind long after it is read. You will meet in One Blade of Grass many great teachers, and one more who stands among them and shines with them all." --Rodger Kamenetz, author of The History of Last Night's Dream and The Jew in the Lotus "Henry Shukman is a wonderful and brilliant teacher who has affected me deeply. His journey from a troubled kid to a widely respected Zen master is a fascinating story in which everyone can find inspiration. One Blade of Grass is a must-read for anyone interested in human spirituality and gaining practical wisdom about how to navigate this thing we call life." --Kirsten Powers, CNN political analyst and USA Today columnist Praise for Henry Shukman "A very talented writer." --Peter Matthiessen, author of In Paradise "Shukman is a very gifted and haunting writer, and his works are a great pleasure." --Vikram Seth, author of A Suitable Girl "Shukman is superb, like Conrad on speed." --Giles Foden, author of The Last King of Scotland "Adept at conjuring mood." -- GQ "A Beach -like trawl in the company of disaffected youth through dirty paradises . . . Shukman's writing is fluent and compulsive - the sort of reading that's great to take on holiday, but with the sort of subject matter that might make you wish that you had stayed at home." -- Arena "As a poet, Shukman is known for the evocative brilliance of his physical description... richly rewarding, brilliantly realized." -- Los Angeles Times "Faultless... not just a book of the year but of many years to come." -- Guardian, Advance Praise for One Blade Of Grass "What a wonderful and generous book this is, Roshi Shukman sharing so openly his particular path into the depths of Zen, and sharing also those depths themselves.

Synopsis
One man's "beautifully written . . . hilariously funny" memoir of how the wisdom of Zen Buddhism helped him recover from longtime mental health struggles (Natalie Goldberg, author of Writing Down the Bones ) One Blade of Grass tells the story of how a Zen meditation practice helped Henry Shukman to recover from the depression, anxiety, and chronic eczema he had since childhood and to integrate a sudden spiritual awakening into his life. By turns humorous and moving, this beautifully written memoir demystifies Zen Buddhist training, casting its profound insights in simple, lucid language, and takes the reader on a journey of their own, into the hidden treasures of life that contemplative practice can reveal to any of us. "One of the most insightful, informative, and honest accounts of Zen practice yet to appear in English." --Stephen Batchelor, author of Buddhism without Beliefs, "If you've ever wondered how a messed up kid like you or me might master the wisdom of Zen, One Blade of Grass is the adventure for you.
