This
long awaited ambitious and profound collection of Seijaku's
teachings, delivers the wisdom of ages past and speaks to all of
our hearts no matter what one's religious or spiritual
affiliation may be.
Seijaku Roshi dismantles the myths of western stereotypes of
Zen, Buddhism, and Spirituality; challenging us to realize that
Authentic Spirituality is not the spirituality of modern pop
cultures pie-in-the-sky magical solutions, but rather a inherent
force of nature that enables one to deal with whatever life
dishes out.
"When you don’t know who you are, when you have accepted the
criticisms of others, as well as their social, religious, and
political expectations as the sole authority of who and what you
are supposed to be, you learn early on not to trust yourself,
not to believe in yourself, and are left to rely on the
authorities and dreams of others. You look everywhere outside of
yourself for validation, approval, and any sense of power. This
is not only a form of spiritual immaturity, but also the
ignorance that Buddha, also called Shakyamuni, pointed to as the
cause of suffering. I have never wanted to be anyone else but me
as far back as I can remember. I have always held my dream for
myself and the world to be as valid as and more necessary for me
than anyone else’s."
- Seijaku Roshi

"Seijaku Roshi has the innate ability to speak directly to a
person’s heart. Each word is deliberate. I have had the
privilege of being with many spiritual leaders, Seijaku has a
unique style because he is grounded and precise so that a person
can transform themselves using the information he presents. He
is also a combination of a real human being with a tremendous
sense of humor and self.”
