Further Reading<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Zen practice, a transmission outside the scriptures is seen as essential. But as Buddhism is still relatively new to the West, we may not always be so clear on what it is that we try to practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, at Zen River, study forms an important part of our training. Our study programme introduces some of the central texts and teachings that inform our particular style of Zen practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a list of recommended books; all listed books can be found in our library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
