Notes and Reflections from a Life in Zen By Norman Fischer Edited by Cynthia Schrager Available May 18, 2021
When You Greet Me I Bow spans the entirety of Norman Fischer's career and is the first collection of his writings on Buddhist philosophy and practice. Broken into four thematic sections, this book allows us to see the fascinating development of the mind and interests of a gifted writer and profoundly committed practitioner.
This collection of prayers is a record of our practice during this present moment of a pandemic affecting the entire world. It has been compiled by participants in our Fall 2020 Practice Period and is is dedicated and offered with love and gratitude to our teacher, Zoketsu Norman Fischer, and to our 2020 Shuso, Boku Sei Dai Jo Christopher Dumbleton.
