Extraordinary Freedom is an approachable and straightforward invitation to open to life, to inquire within, and to go beyond confusion and live in the light of awareness. Although the book isn't filled with the esoteric language of the Buddhist tradition, it has the depth of this powerful wisdom tradition.

Shakyamuni Buddha founded the path of the successive 52 Soto Zen Ancestors when he awakened to the Way. The transmissions of the teachings to the 52 Ancestors in Zen Buddhist Tradition were never meant to reach the eyes of laymen.

While in his twenties and thirties, international journalist and best-selling author Martin Roth, living in Japan, became deeply involved in Zen Buddhism. So much so that he co-authored a reference work on the subject, “Zen Guide.” Now he explains the attraction of Buddhism to himself and to other young Westerners. He also recounts – often in amusing detail - some of his adventures. He became possibly the first Westerner to complete a famous pilgrimage to thirty-three temples in northern Japan. On another pilgrimage he spent three days hiking through some of Japan’s holiest ...

Jarvis Jay Masters’ early life was a horror story whose outline we know too well. Born in Long Beach, California, his house was filled with crack, alcohol, physical abuse and men who paid his mother for sex. He and his siblings were split up and sent to foster care when he was five, and he progressed quickly to juvenile detention, car theft, armed robbery and ultimately San Quentin. While in prison, he was set up for the murder of a guard - a conviction which landed him on death row, where he’s been since 1990.

미네소타주립대학 불교철학 강의』의 저자 홍창성 교수(미국 미네소타주립대 철학과 교수)는 지난 2015년부터 국내 불교계를 뜨겁게 달구었던 '깨달음 논쟁' 당시 누구보다 많은 분량의 글(8편)을 매체에 기고하며 논쟁의 중심에 섰고, 많은 이들의 주목을 받았다. 그런 그가 먼 미국 땅의 대학에서 진행한 '불교철학 강의'는 매우 특별하다. 기독교 전통이 강하기로 유명한 미국 바이블 벨트(Bible Belt) 북부의 미네소타주에서, 그것도 불교에 관한 그 어떤 것도 접해 본 적 없는 젊은 대학생들을 대상으로 하고 있기 때문이다.
