Customer Reviews

Cherish each moment.

Although many reviewers berate the book on the grounds that it misrepresents Zen Buddhism, they miss a key point: the book is not about Zen Buddhism. The book is about the lifestlye/philosophy (key words) of Zen and how it relates to our experience in the bedroom. This book will teach you how to truely cherish your lover and the intimate moments you have together. Sudo's writing fuses human spirituality and sexuality to present to us the right way to approach the bedroom. If you are willing to learn, the book will teach you to dissolve your ego, better your sex life, and most importantly cherish your lover.

Resolving the disparity between sexuality and spirituality...

Although dogmatic practitioners of Zen may be offended by this book, and may even revile it (as other reviews show), those who embrace the spirit of Zen (in what I believe is its innate radicalness) are likely to find great refreshment and depth in this book. Sudo writes with great clairty of mind and vastness of heart, and helps to resolve the painful disparity (which many spiritual practitioners face) between spirituality and sexuality. For anyone who wishes to bring greater depth, integrity, and compassion to their sex life and to their spiritual practice, I wholeheartely recommend this delightful book, and I thank Philip Sudo for his gift to myself and to all beings who are fortunate enough to read it.

Masterfully written!

A wonderful resource for anyone interested in integrating spiritual practices into their sexuality/sensuality. Written in a clear and concise manner that is easily digestable. I recommend this book without reservation as great reading and a fabulous resource.

The great zen book

An excellent book for those who is interesting in zen and the same time loves sex. The old contradiction between life with pleasure and spiritual learning was easely solved in this text. You, who is on the Path, will discover a whole world of pleasure and joy. You, who enjoys sex and love, will be able to touch an old wisdom of zen. This will change your life. I promise that and this book helps you.
