Learn to make every moment a once-in-a-lifetime experience with this definitive guide to the Japanese art of ichigo ichie, from the best-selling authors of Ikigai. Every moment in our life happens only once, and if we let it slip away, we lose it forever - an idea captured by the Japanese phrase ichigo ichie. Often spoken in Japan when greeting someone or saying goodbye, to convey that the encounter is unique and special, it is a tenet of Zen Buddhism and is attributed to a 16th-century master of the Japanese tea ceremony.

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few. So begins this most beloved of all American Zen works. Seldom has such a small handful of words provided a teaching as rich as this famous opening line of Shunryu Suzuki's classic. In a single stroke, the simple sentence cuts through the pervasive tendency students have of getting so close to Zen as to completely miss what it's all about. An instant teaching in the first minutes. And that's just the beginning.

Good Spiritual Read
This is a good spiritual read- very simple and concise. Every lesson is given a crisp title that sums up the teaching. But a brief given by the Zen Monk helps with a better understanding of the lessons of life. As you read, you experience an inner awakening and you feel inspired by the parables that further enrich the meaning.
Hailing from a different country and culture, It felt good to learn a little about the Japanese culture and people. It teaches you how similar every culture is when it teaches you lessons of life.
Truly a wonderful spiritual journey!! Shunmyo Masuno has done a fabulous job of enriching our life with valuable lessons.

Very well written and well read. Easy on the ears and the mind, as a Zen book should be.
I would have liked a little more background about the Zen philosophy, before getting into its teachings. Nevertheless an excellent book.
