It surrounds us, flows through us, and is available to us in every moment. Spiritual practice, according to revered American Zen teacher Dainin Katagiri Roshi, is about aligning ourselves with this ever-present life force—sometimes referred to as c\u003ci\u003ehi, qi\u003c\/i\u003e, or\u003ci\u003e ki\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e This collection, edited from Roshi’s talks, focuses on cosmic energy as it relates to all aspects of Zen practice. With references to classic texts and personal stories that bring the teachings to life, \u003ci\u003eThe Light That Shines through Infinity\u003c\/i\u003e is also a powerful antidote to the notion that practice is in some way about transcending the world around us. It is in fact about nothing other than relating to it compassionately and whole-heartedly.“Katagiri Roshi's great wisdom shines through every word of this marvelous book. “—Joan Halifax, author of \u003ci\u003e Being with Dying\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Fruitful Darkness\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“I absolutely love this book. It brilliantly edits the Zen teacher Dainin Katagiri's talks into an invitation and guide for our practice. It moves seamlessly from introductory instructions to the deepest aspects of the Zen way. This book is likely destined to be an American Zen classic. Katagiri Roshi was one of the founding teachers of our North American Zen. His insights and style have shaped who we are. His wisdom and compassion shine through every page of this book. I cannot recommend it highly enough. This book presents the essence of our Zen way.”—James Ishmael Ford, author of \u003ci\u003eZen Master Who\u003c\/i\u003e? and \u003ci\u003eIf You’re Lucky, Your Heart Will Break\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A wonderful book-- full of wonder about the deepest meaning of being human.  Katagiri’s penetrating understanding and illuminating Dharma beam shines through you, and in this light you may discover deeper truths leading to your own awakened life.”--Grace Schireson, author of \u003ci\u003eZen Women: Beyond Tea Ladies, Iron Maide\u003c\/i\u003en\u003ci\u003es, and Macho Masters\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eDainin Katagiri Roshi (1928-1990) was born and received his Zen training in Japan, coming to the United States in 1963 to work and teach with Shunryu Suzuki at the San Francisco Zen Center.
