Letters to a Dead Friend about Zen

The night Brad Warner learns that his childhood friend Marky has died, Warner is about to speak to a group of Zen students in Hamburg, Germany. Itâ€™s the last thing he feels like doing. What he wants to do instead is tell his friend everything he never said, to explain Zen and what he does for a living and why he spends his time â€œSitting. Sitting. Sitting. Meditating my life away as it all passes by. Lighting candles and incense. Bowing to nothing.â€ So, as he continues his teaching tour through Europe, he writes to his friend all the things he wishes he had said. Simply and humorously, he reflects on why Zen provided him a lifeline in a difficult world. He explores grief, attachment, and the afterlife. He writes to Marky, â€œIâ€™m not all that interested in Buddhism. Iâ€™m much more interested in what is true,â€ and then proceeds to poke and prod at that truth. The result for readers is a singular and winning meditation on Zen â€” and a unique tribute to both a life lost and the one Warner has found.
