Talking doesn't work, for it immediately creates mental representations that are going to take on a life of their own. Remaining silent doesn't work either. Sitting zazen doesn't help. Koan-training doesn't help. [..] Studying doesn't help. Nothing works. Maybe you recognise this experience yourself. It is in every respect also my own experience, and the story of my life. And yet at the same time, there is the other side: that there can be unlimited trust, that life itself is limitless faith, boundless openness". The Zen talks of Ton Lathouwers are always personal in tone. They are actually testimonies in which he weaves together his own experiences with references to his voraciously wide reading. He enjoys illustrating his insights with texts drawn from a variety of literary and spiritual traditions, both Eastern and Western -- the intercultural dialogue is close to his heart. The Zen talks collected here date from 1999 and have gone through many reprints since their first publication. That is because Lathouwers speaks from heart to heart and truly knows how to convey the faith that everyone -- without exception -- is capable of finding his or her own personal answer to the great mystery of existence.
