The title says it all. Accessibly written, Zen Explained describes
the mystery that lies at the heart of Zen Buddhism. It clearly and
concisely says what nirvana (enlightenment) actually is, then goes
on to outline in plain English how the individual can attain
nirvana. This is a radical departure. Most Zen books are faithful
to the spirit of Zen as it was understood and written about in
Japan centuries ago. As a consequence they often have to be
deciphered more than read. Zen Explained is different. It speaks
using concepts and ideas familiar to Westerners. Poetic language
and culturally foreign allegory are avoided in favour of the more
direct and down-to-Earth descriptive style of writing that is more
usual in the West. Something is lost in terms of literary style
because of this, but something is also gained by it: clarity.
