What More Do You Want? Zen Questions, Zen Answers
by Albert Low Author
This addresses questions about the practice of Zen, such as why we practice, why we should understand our reasons for practicing, how to distinguish between true and false practice, and what is awakening. It also shares four teishos, talks that comment on a text or koan to enhance meditation practice, on zazen or seated meditation, pain and suffering, and the nature of practice itself. It also shares an experience of satori, a glimpse into Buddha nature, which is essential for achieving awakening. The journey towards transcendence begins with questioning, and questions will be part of the path until awakening is attained.

It's all true. I have no idea where to find any of those old zines through. Somewhere in a milk crate I have my copies. They are precious. There is no one else like this woman and she continues to be amazing. We met scamming copies of our zines at the office depot on Gilman Street in 2002 and I've pretty much been in love with her ever since.
Strange that Jim says Leigh's stories aren't true and that it is allowed to be posted. I haven't met Leigh myself, but i have met a bunch of people who have known her (including another author Sascha Scatter who i think was one of the lovers she writes about) who have said her stuff is 100% true. Who knows, either way, i love her writing. It is highly recommended if it ever returns to stock.
Please keep in mind, that even though she writes these stories, none of them are true.
