About the Book: In this much‑anticipated volume, Becoming Yourself, Buddhist master Shunryu Suzuki Roshi imparts warm‑hearted, unpretentious teachings drawn from his earlier lectures and unpublished talks. With his signature blend of humor and insight, he invites both complete beginners and seasoned Zen practitioners to embrace a simple practice of being wholeheartedly as one is—“just to sit,” moment to moment—and to reconnect with the innate wisdom, compassion and care that are already present
