Overview
This is what happened at the famous Zen monastery south of San Francisco.
From the award-winning and best-selling author of the biography of Shunryu Suzuki (Crooked Cucumber), comes a memoir and oral history of Tassajara--a monastery founded by the San Franciscan Zen Center in 1967. Peopled like a Sixties film of Buddhism invasion, with hippies, dreamers, lovers, and the first serious practitioners in the US. Nyogen Senzaki, D.T. Suzuki, Alan Watts, Gary Snyder, Allen Ginsberg, and of course Shunryu Suzuki and Richard Baker are all here. This is the story of what happened at the founding of the first Zen monastery in the West.
