Hardcore Zen: Punk Rock, Monster Movies,
by Brad Warner
Review
As the book says, “Question authority. Question society. Question reality. Question yourself.” With this approach, the author’s presentation of Zen Buddhism seems to be a logical outgrowth of the punk rock spirit. Probably more akin to Herrigel’s Zen in the Art of Archery than anything else, though with more diversions and a little less “pithy” than that work. Definitely in tune with my thoughts about Zen, particularly with not accepting anyone else (including Brad Warner, himself) as an authority on Buddhism.
