“The point is that, in an impasse, life becomes more real and more…” — Bring Me the Rhinoceros 📚 log(book)

I'm currently behind on reviews, so don't be surprised if the recent reviews are a bit sparse.

The point is that, in an impasse, life becomes more real and more interesting, so much so that it is better to have some impossible problems in your life than not to.

★★★★☆

I read this book after seeing it recommended on Twitter, and I'm glad I did. It's an introduction to Buddhist/Zen koans, with context and interpretative options supplied for each of the koans presented. It felt like a gentle and good way to approach this general area of interest.
