It¡¯s with exquisite timing that this book drops into our lives, like Zen monk and haiku poet Matsuo Basho¡¯s frog into its ancient pond. Who among us hasn¡¯t had our moments of anxiety these past months ¡ª about our health, our loved ones, our jobs, our future? ¡°Zen Wisdom for an Anxious World¡± would be an apt title, but I suppose Zen humility precludes such presumption.
The author, Shinsuke Hosokawa, is the head priest of Ryuunji temple in Tokyo¡¯s Setagaya Ward. Apart from writing books about Zen, he also coaches actors playing Zen monks in TV dramas, notably NHK¡¯s 2017 historical saga, ¡°Naotora: The Lady Warlord¡± (¡°Onna Joshu Naotora¡±).
