“Maitland gives us a work that is profound, insightful, and
informative, and gives a wider audience access to his understanding
of one of the great unknown traditions of Zen practice and
philosophy.”
—Kendo Hal Roth, author of Original Tao, from the preface
“Dr. Jeffrey Maitland is a talented practitioner, author, and
lecturer. This book emulates his life as I see him in action. He
moves, writes, teaches, and practices in a quiet stillness that
commands great respect from the elements and his fellow beings.
Being a physician, author, and lecturer myself, I have learned to
seek and learn from the best. . . . Part of my healing comes from
the concepts taught in this book. The pages unfold a practice that
brings peace and tranquility to those that learn the art of Zen
regardless of your religion or profession. This is the third book
of Dr. Maitland’s that I have read and utilized in my life and
practice.”
—John W. Brimhall, DC
“In these essays, Hokaku Jeffrey Maitland draws upon his experience
as a Zen practitioner, philosopher, and pioneering somatic
practitioner to clarify the principles behind Nyorai Zen—not
through studies of discrete aspects of Zen practice but by
addressing the whole. Mind Body Zen captures the spirit of the
teachings of Zen master Kyozan Joshu, and is a compassionate call
to practice—to know for oneself the beauty of what Joshu Roshi
calls our true home.”
—Genyo Christopher Burawa, poet, translator, director of the Center
of Excellence for the Creative Arts at Austin Peay State
University, and author of The Small Mystery of Lapses
“Mind Body Zen is a pick for collections strong in Zen Buddhism and
philosophy… Long-time Zen student and former philosophy professor
uses this blend of mind-body experience and Zen knowledge to bridge
East/West gaps in thinking.”
—Midwest Book Review
