Roshis, sesshins, zazens?
Meet Darcy Lott, Hollywood stuntwoman and Zen practitioner. When a stunt goes horribly wrong she retreats to Redwood Canyon Monastery.
She doesn’t quite find the tranquility she seeks, however, because she is drawn into the monastery intrigue when the enigmatic leader is poisoned and then she learns of the disappearance a young Zen student several years earlier.
Susan Dunlap’s A Single Eye is aptly named because it caught my eye recently when I was poking around for something a little out of the ordinary.
This book got a starred review from Library Journal which called it a “polished triumph” with a “beautifully plotted story that features an unusual setting and fully realized characters.”
This evening at 7:30 here at the library there will be a program called Buddhism 101 that might help you enjoy this book on an ever higher plane!
