A comprehensive guide to the mystery of Zen meditation, and a treatise on the inner recesses of the mind, this text decsribes the mind and the conditions of Zen practice. It provides beginners with instructions, describing the correct inner and outer posture.
Original Mind is beautiful book for all those interested in meditation and Zen practice. A perfect introductory guide, the book covers breathing, mindfulness, meditation postures and more. Original Mind shows with clarity and deep insight how to apply the ancient wisdom of Zen to modern life. One of the most eminent Buddhist masters in the West, Baker Roshi explores how to establish a spiritual practice and overcome common obstacles on a spiritual path (difficulties with meditation and more). This book is an invitation to the insights, practices, adventures, and joys of Zen practice. It shows us a way to experience the joy of our own true nature, our original mind. Instrumental in putting together the classic bestseller Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind, Richard Baker was the top American disciple of Suzuki Roshi, and was one of only two people to be appointed as his successor. This long-awaited book is regarded as the sequel to Suzuki Roshi's classic text.

Richard Baker Roshi has been teaching Zen for nearly thirty years. He is the first dharma heir of Shunryu Suzuki-Roshi, the first Zen master to establish a residential and monastic practice for laypeople. In 1966 Baker Roshi co-founded the internationally renowned practice centre, Tassajara , as well as Green Gulch Farm and Practice Center in California. He also studied in Japan for several years at Anatjii, Eiheiji and Daitokuji Zen moasteries. He is the head teacher of Dharma Sangha in the US and Europe as well as Abbot of Creston Mountain Zen Center in Colorado and the Buddhist Study Centre in Germany's Black Forest.
