Publisher's Synopsis
How do we balance our quest for pleasure with our quest for enlightenment? To discover the answers, readers follow Ken Taub's wild ride through the 1960s and '70s alternative spiritual landscape in America, to the heart of the Zen Buddhist tradition. This thought-provoking work, which combines both memoir and reflections, boldly: explores themes of concern to the majority of spiritual seekers; honours human senses and desires; speaks with common sense; describes a new spiritual vision rooted in Buddhist wisdom.
