One Blade of Grass

"One Blade of Grass tells the story of how meditation practice helped Henry Shukman to recover from the depression, anxiety, and chronic eczema he had had since childhood and to integrate a sudden spiritual awakening into his life. This... memoir demystifies Zen training, casting its profound insights in simple, lucid language, and takes the reader on a journey of their own, into hidden treasures of life that contemplative practice can reveal to any of us."--Page 4 of cover.
