Critics Review
“This is one of the most important works on spiritual realization to be written in years. It’s based on Jun Po Kelly Roshi’s breakthrough insights into how to distill and dramatically accelerate the koan practice of Zen—and thus dramatically accelerate the awakening process in consciousness. There’s really nothing like this out there, and no matter what your ‘official’ spiritual orientation, you really can’t afford to miss this revolutionary process for your own awakening and enlightenment. My absolutely highest recommendation!”
—Ken Wilber, author of The Integral Vision:A Very Short Introduction to the Revolutionary Integral Approach to Life, God, the Universe, and Everything
Jun Po Denis Kelly Roshi
Jun Po (pronounced June Poe) Denis Kelly Roshi is the 83rd Patriarch of Rinzai Zen, having received inka from Eido Shimano Roshi in 1992 at the age of 50. Jun Po has been teaching Zen ever since that time and has built an international community called Mondo Zen that spans the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia. His extraordinary life was detailed in the biography A Heart Blown Open (Divine Arts Media, 2012), which has just been used as the basis of a screenplay.
Keith Martin-Smith is the author of three additional books, including the award-winning A Heart Blown Open. In addition to writing, he also teaches Shaolin Kung Fu and is an ordained Zen priest.
