A beautiful story of a journey down the path of Zen, filled with a warmth that Zen normally seems to lack. Loved this book. One of the (many) things I found interesting was the conception of kensho (~awakening experience) as "anti-trauma". In kensho, consciousness is plunged into a bath of formless, nameless love. That we afterwards fall short of what we “realize” can be an incentive to train with our teachers until we do find durable peace. At least we know that it might be possible now. Kensho is the inverse of trauma. Here, unlike in trauma, the shock is of love and belonging, not pain and hurt. Researchers in psychology are now finding that a true epiphany can leave a beneficent shadow on the psyche, a positive counterpart to PTSD. A few words I learned: dybbuk: Jewish mythology, a malicious possessing spirit believed to be the dislocated soul of a dead person soteriology: doctrine of salvation sump: a pit or hollow in which liquid collects, especially one in the floor of a mine or basement fumaroles: openings in the earth's surface that emit steam and volcanic gases, such as sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide, they can occur as holes, cracks, or fissures near active volcanoes neurasthenic: an ill-defined medical condition characterized by lassitude, fatigue, headache, and irritability, associated chiefly with emotional disturbance

Sam Harris is an exceptionally sane human being. The first two chapters are a little slow especially if you don't need convincing that secularism needs more spirituality (and vice versa). The rest was 👌.
