About this listen
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few.
So begins this most beloved of all American Zen works. In a single stroke, the simple sentence cuts through the pervasive tendency students have of getting so close to Zen as to completely miss what it's all about. In the years since its original publication, Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind has become one of the great modern Zen classics. Suzuki Roshi presents the basics of Zen in a way that is remarkably clear and resonates with the joy of insight.
Read by Emmy-award winning narrator Peter Coyote, this audio will be listened to time and time again as an inspiration to practice.

This was a great book and I am very happy that I gave it a listen. Audio is quite old, but you get used to it quickly.

Abysmal audio quality
I reread "Zen Mind" every new year, and so this year I decided to try this audiobook. As usual, the dharma teachings come through clearly. I wish I could say the same about the audio quality, which is heavily muffled and full of pops and crackles reminiscent of vinyl records. I found I had to listen to the audiobook at an uncomfortably high volume for the voice to shine out from the noise. You can tell this was recorded cheaply in the early 90s. A version retold in 2021 with a good mic would be appreciated.
