St. Nadie in Winter: Zen Encounters with Loneliness by Terence Keenan
This revolutionary Buddhist text has already become a minor classic in Zen literature. During dark nights of the soul, the book instructs, we can only follow the Three Guides: No Blame, Be Kind, Love Everything. Author Terrance Keenan's world - boyhood Catholicism, alcoholism, the struggles of maintaining honest relationships with his wife and children - is a mirror for every serious reader who wishes to make sense of life.
