Pure Heart, Enlightened Mind : The Life and Letters of an Irish Zen Saint
Overview
One of the most beloved Buddhist books of all time--having inspired popular musicians, artists, a documentary film, and countless readers--is now available in an expanded new edition, loaded with extras. Absolutely absorbing from start to finish, this is a true story you might truly fall in love with. At only 24, Maura O'Halloran left her Irish-American family stateside and traveled to Japan, where she began studying under a Zen master. She would herself become recognized as a Zen master, in an uncommonly brief amount of time. Pure Heart, Enlightened Mind is Maura's beautifully-written account of her journey. These journal entries and letters home reveal astonishing, wise-beyond-her-years humor, compassion, wisdom, and commitment. This expanded edition includes never-before-seen entries and poems, the author's unfinished novel, and an afterword that discusses the book's cultural impact. It will be a must have for Maura's fans, and will surely find her thousands of new ones.
