Twelve & Zen -- Where the 12 Steps Meet Zen Koans
Buddhism + Recovery. There are already several excellent books available to you on these combined topics, so how is Twelve and Zen different from these? Twelve and Zen, to the best of my knowledge, is the first to bring koan practice into the picture as a very effective means of deepening your 12 Step practice.
This is not a theory. I speak from my direct experiences -- from being in recovery for more than 25 years and koan practice for more than 15 years.
It must me noted, this book is NOT a substitute for going to meetings, getting a sponsor, working the Steps and helping others.
The book "Alcoholics Anonymous" has a chapter entitled "Into Action". This is a book about doing. No matter what kind of 12 Step program you are in, koan practice will enhance your practice.
