Description
Shikantaza--or "just sitting"--is one of the simplest, most subtle forms of meditation, and one of the most easily misunderstood. This peerless volume brings together a wealth of writings, from the Buddha himself to Bodhidharma and Dogen and many of modern Zen Buddhism's most influential masters, all pointing directly to the heart of this powerful practice. Edited by one of America's pre-eminent Zen teachers, this book is a rich resource for wisdom seekers and scholars alike.

Just skimming this now. As usual the ancient pieces are the most beautiful and the most paradoxical. Skip however to the American masters and you begin to get readable prose. I like the volume and look forward to reading the elders at mind-numbing length.
