Praise for Seon Master Daehaeng’s No River to Cross
"No River to Cross speaks directly and simply from the heart, much in the manner of Shunryu Suzuki's Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind. Master Daehaeng's ability to penetrate the skin with plain and pointed words should give this work the same longevity."
—Francisca Cho, Georgetown University, translator of Everything Yearned For
