A uniquely playful and incisive collection of Zen teaching stories from a beloved American master.

A modern classic, now in a new expanded edition. In the tradition of the great koan collections and the records of ancient masters, Robert Aitken distills a lifetime of teaching down to its essence. Intriguing and deceptively simple, Zen Master Raven is a brilliant encapsulation of Zen in over a hundred koan-like encounters alongside many charming illustrations. Featuring curious beginners like Mallard and Mole and profound teachers like Brown Bear, Moose Roshi, and Zen Master Raven himself, this classic of contemporary Zen and will inspire seekers for generations to come.

Industry Reviews

"Reading Aitken's Zen Master Raven is a bombardment of dazzling bursts of light--like sitting watching stars born in the night sky, one after another. A treasure."--Kathleen Dowling Singh, author of The Grace in Aging and The Grace in Living
"Amusing, delightful, terrifically readable--and filled with deceptive simplicities. Zen Master Raven is American Zen at its best. It will gently draw in the Zen beginner while at the same time taking the old hand for unexpected leaps. This book has fully earned its place in all Zen libraries."--Dick Allen, author of Zen Master Poems
"With this new Wisdom edition of Zen Master Raven, Robert Aitken Roshi comes back to life in these witty exchanges between sentient beings of various shapes, sizes and colors. As you flip through the pages, you can almost see the Wise Old Bird in your mind's eye with a half-smile, playfully winking at you."--Ruben L.F. Habito, author of Living Zen, Loving God
"May the caw of this raven resonate far and wide!"--David Loy, author of A New Buddhist Path
