Living Compassion: Keep It Simple

This Side of Nirvana
By Sara Jenkins

This wonderful book, originally published in 2001, recounts a spiritual journey as it moves from meetings with Asian masters to encountering an American woman teacher, Cheri Huber, who turns macho Zen inside out. What distinguishes it is the unflinching frankness with which personal difficulties are described, the growth that takes place in spite of the difficulties, and the revealing interactions between student and teacher.

See one's own secret struggles mirrored and illuminated in an engagingly well-told story.
Learn about the role of a powerful spiritual teacher in a student's life and enjoy the wit, down-to-earth wisdom, and inspired guidance of Zen teacher Cheri Huber.
Learn basic Zen Buddhist practice and how it applies to real-life challenges.

Sara Jenkins has been a student of Cheri Huber's for more than twenty years. Her most recent book is Hello at Last: Embracing the Koan of Friendship & Meditation.
