Edited by Mary Farkas & Robert Lopez

A companion volume to The Zen Eye, published by Weatherhill in 1993, Zen Pivots continues to explore the vigorous and eloquent teachings of Sokei-an Sasaki, the first Zen master to settle in the United States and bring the living thought and practice of Zen to Americans in their own language. Consisting of talks he gave to his students in New York City in the 1930s and early 1940s, Zen Pivots shows the astonishing range of Sokei-an's grasp of Buddhist thought and his shrewd sense of how this exotic teaching could be transplanted into the everyday life, language, and culture of his adopted land.

Sokei-An Shigetsu Sasaki (1882-1945) first came to the United states in 1906. His career as a Zen master began in 1930 in New York Cit, where he founded the First Zen Institute of America.
