1. 1. Ambivalent Zen

   

   A candid autobiographical account of a Western seeker’s uneasy relationship with Zen practice, blending personal memoir, psychological insight, and cultural critique as the narrator confronts desire, attachment, and the authority of teachers while trying to reconcile spiritual aspiration with ordinary life; the book explores the tensions between discipline and impulse, faith and doubt, and offers clear-eyed reflections on how Zen gets lived, distorted, and translated in a modern Western context.
