The pictures to be presented depict this process in ten discrete steps or stages, outlining major transitions and warning of dangers along the way. Professor emeritus in Zen studies at Hanazone University in Kyōto, Japan, Jeff Shore has studied and practiced for 50+ years, focusing on the core of Zen and the heart of living Buddhism.
