I am looking to either purchase online or even a pdf download of a zen Buddhist book called The Little Manual of Practice, preferably in English since I read terrible Chinese characters. I have done extensive online searches but have found nothing..... The book has three parts to it: 1. Practice in Everyday Life 2. Essential Practices for a Novice 3. The Teachings of Zen Master Kuai Chan This manual is read/studied by novice monks in China and elsewhere (as well as by most advanced monks). As I am preparing for entered the monastery, I would like to be able to read this as much as I can before then. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.
Dear Brucha, Did you ever find the book? I have a feeling it is not printed in English. I read about this book in Thich Nhat Hanh's ZEN KEYS. Is that where you happened upon it? All the best to you in your studies.
