Beyond the meditation cushion, where do you ultimately find the profound clarity, presence, and simple joy of Zen? "Where it has always been - in everyday life," teaches Charlotte Joko Beck, "whether it's raising our kids, working in the office, or even cleaning the house." On Living Everyday Zen, this seminal voice in American Zen shares some of her hallmark teachings and insights from nearly 50 years of practice. Beck's ability to make the abstract concrete and accessible for anyone who engages in the practice distinguishes her from most other Zen teachers.

Please listen to this!

I can’t count how many times I’ve listened to this book. Of all books I’ve ever listen to here on Audible, this is the one that really changed my life.

absolute joy

experience joko Beck in a very special recording of one of her trainings. form is emptiness emptiness is emptiness.

Very Practicable

These are Zen teachings that fit North American culture given in a Western voice. One feels that one is listening within this intimate group of practitioners.

Very insightful

I got a lot out of this. I liked the input from the audience. Would highly recommend.

Amazing insight into a great mind

Joko's recorded lessons are true jewels, so much wisdom to be acquired. Highly recommended to anyone looking to explore mindfulness, whether a beginner or an expert.

Get Out of the Box

Being in the box is self-centeredness. Outside the box is freedom; love intelligence abides outside the box. Practice is moving out of the box to freedom, to experiencing. Being out of the box is just life itself, and any interaction should be healing for both parties. Realize your true self, come outside of the box. Nirvana awaits.

Just what I needed.

An honest series of dharma talks geared to bring you face to face with the nature of practice.

She understands

Priceless, Joko understand what zen is. Not a peaceful thing to content ourselves. It is true life.

good until I know better

I liked it, I felt it was exactly what I needed now, but I'm still trying to figure out some things, you can say she showed me a path, I'm just not sure yet that this is "the path" but it was a good listen.

Everyday Zen

Beck was one of the best Zen teachers in American Zen and is known for not playing into the whole Zen Master scam. Easy to listen to. Human. Actually enlightened. And probably the antidote for most of the Buji Zen fluff and poseur teachers who preen their self images endlessly.

Really, their are no frills here, despite the bits of shakuhachi intermezzos...just a boring old Zen practice talk about living mindfully and failing constantly.
