In this way, the mind is made free. In \u003ci\u003eBuddhism Plain and Simple\u003c\/i\u003e, Zen priest and longtime teacher Steve Hagen presents this heart of Buddhist teaching, pared down to its essence and explained in simple, everyday language.

More than 300,000 copies in various formats have sold to date and is now available in a brand new, high-quality paperback edition. Praised by Robert M. Pirsig, author of \u003ci\u003eZen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance\u003c\/i\u003e, as the clearest and most precise exposition of Buddhism I have ever read.
