One of the first books to get me interested in Buddhism.   But very specific to the Japanese Zen tradition -- perhaps not representative of a wider range of Buddhist practice.

This is the one and yet it's the one that begins it for many.  I was pulled in and have continued reading from here.

Medium demand for a reading list. Consider it. Read other koans though. This author depreciates this book by limited examples. Nice cultural artwork

This was my first real taste of Buddhism. It opened my mind to so many things.
