Other Side of Nothing: The Zen Ethics of Time, Space, and Being

This reader-friendly guide to Zen Buddhist ethics for modern times explains key aspects of Zen Buddhism. Author and Zen teacher Brad Warner delves and explains nonduality in plain English. He argues that nonduality forms the bedrock of Zen ethics and that understanding it explains many of Zen’s perplexing aspects. 

Drawing on decades of Zen practice, Warner traces the relationship between Zen metaphysics and ethics, showing how a true understanding of reality instills a sense of responsibility for all beings. When we realize our separateness from others is illusory, we have no desire to harm any creature. Warner presents an expansive overview of the Zen ethos, giving beginners and experts a deeper understanding of this enduring spiritual tradition.
