Do Not Try to Become a Buddha
Myozan Ian Kilroy
A Zen Buddhist priest paints a picture of Zen in Ireland in this collection of short essays. In this personal and enlightening collection of short essays, Irish Soto Zen priest Myozan Ian Kilroy describes how he came to practice Zen, introduces the basics of Zen philosophy, and recalls the challenges of establishing a Zen Buddhist community in Catholic-dominated Ireland. Along the way, he explores the rituals and practices that Zen brings to everyday life, from holidays to weddings to birth ceremonies to funerals. A former journalist, Rev. Myozan's clear yet entertaining storytelling style paints a clear picture of how Zen has adapted to the culture and traditions of Ireland.
