I didn't fully understand what it is that monks did on a daily basis (I imagined it to be something like meditating all day with breaks for small meals), so this book taught me a LOT about life in a monastery and the different roles that monks must play to keep the organization running. Buswell is so passionate about the subject and knows so goddamn much. I appreciated his care in integrating his personal experiences with his more objective knowledge to gently contradict the way Zen Buddhism is portrayed in the west.

Robert Buswell, a Buddhist scholar who spent five years as a Zen monk in Korea, draws on personal experience in this insightful account of day-to-day Zen monastic practice. In discussing the activities of the postulants, the meditation monks, the teachers and administrators, and the support monks of the monastery of Songgwang-sa, Buswell reveals a religious tradition that differs radically from the stereotype prevalent in the West. The author's treatment lucidly relates contemporary Zen practice to the historical development of the tradition and to Korean history more generally, and his portrayal of the life of modern Zen monks in Korea provides an innovative and provocative look at Zen from the inside.
