2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Will Change Your Life.By Will CorsairA student in a class I was teaching told me about this book. He's from Korea originally, and is part of a Zen group in, of all places, Oklahoma City.The author is a from Korea, and he writes with a direct, light-hearted style that is clear and not at all intimidating or overwhelming. I found myself very drawn to what he was .The book is a transcription of his many talks, so the text is sometimes a bit choppy. However, that doesn't detract from how well the book is put together. It will change the way you see the world and maybe how you live your life.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

The Compass of Zen is a simple, exhaustivemdash;and often hilariousmdash;presentation of the essence of Zen by a modern Zen Master of considerable renown. In his many years of teaching throughout the world, the Korean-born Zen Master Seung Sahn has become known for his ability to cut to the heart of Buddhist teaching in a way that is strikingly clear, yet free of esoteric and academic language. In this book, based largely on his talks, he presents the basic teachings of Buddhism and Zen in a way that is wonderfully accessible for beginnersmdash;yet so rich with stories, insights, and personal experiences that long-time students will also find it a source of inspiration and a resource for study.

From Library JournalZen Maste Sahn is the well-known director of the Kuan Um School of Zen. Active as a teacher in the West for 30 years, Sahn originally wrote this text in the 1970s, as a guide for students with an interest in the fundamentals of Buddhists teaching from a Zen perspective. Much of the Zen teaching with which Westerners are familiar has come from Japanese , but this work has a fresh, Korean Zen slant. For an introductory text, however, Walpole Rahula's classic What the Buddha Taught (Grove, 1987) is probably better. A large part of this volume is given to transcriptions of talks, resulting in repetition and a lack of focus. Viewed as one person's heartfelt expression of his understanding of the teachings, however, this has much to offer. Recommended for academic and public libraries with extensive collections in the areas of Buddhism and Zen.?Mark Woodhouse, Elmira Coll. Lib., N.Y.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc. "An entertaining and even amusing survey of the varied flavors of Buddhism appears in The Compass of Zen, by Seung Sahn. Based upon his talks, this book presents the basic questions in many short, accessible chapters woven around anecdotes and dialogues. From the to the Five Human Dreams, this book seems to cover the whole mathematics of insight."mdash;Michael Sims, Bookpage "Like two arrows meeting in the air, this extraordinary book meets the mind point. Please relax and enjoy it."mdash;Joan Halifax, author of The Fruitful Darkness About the AuthorZen Master Seung Sahn (1927ndash;2004) was the first teacher to bring Korean Zen Buddhism to America, having already established temples in Japan and Hong Kong. In 1972 he came to the United States and started what became the Providence Zen Center, the first center in what is now the , which now includes more than eighty centers and groups worldwide. His students called him Dae Soen Sa Nim, "Great Honored Zen Teacher," and he was the 78th Zen master in his line of in the Chogye order of . His books include The Compass of Zen, Dropping Ashes on the Buddha, Only Don't Know, and The Whole World Is a Single Flower: 365 Kong-ans for Everyday Life.
