"Upside-Down Zen" invites readers to explore the vivid spirit of
Zen Buddhism in fresh ways. Recalling, in another vein, the warm,
lyrical style of Lin Jensen's "Bad Dog!, " author Susan Murphy
offers a multifaceted take on the spiritual, grounded in the
everyday. She uses her skills as storyteller, filmmaker, and poet
to uncover the connections between Zen and Western cinema, as well
as between Zen and traditions as diverse as Australian aboriginal
beliefs and Jewish folktales. In the process, she finds
spirituality where it has always belonged -- wherever life is
happening. Murphy helps readers make sense of Zen koans, the often
oversimplified and misunderstood teaching stories of the tradition,
and highlights their wisdom for any reader on the spiritual path. A
strong new voice in Western Buddhism, Murphy speaks for the many
"unrecorded" women of Zen while bringing a lively, literate
approach to a sometimes daunting genre.
