Praise
“With a truly warm voice and the insight arising from genuine practice, Tim Burkett offers a treasury of Buddhist parables, classic Zen teachings, and moving stories from his long experience as a student and teacher.”—Roshi Joan Halifax, author of Being with Dying and Standing at the Edge
“In Enlightenment Is an Accident, Zen teacher Tim Burkett manages, without fanfare or complications, to write about almost everything a lifetime of Zen practice entails, from beginners’ tips to philosophical depths. With encouraging grandfatherly kindness, he makes the practice clear and available, without sacrificing any of its wonder. I am especially impressed with his psychological acumen, borne of many decades of guiding Western students in the practice.”—Norman Fischer, author of When You Greet Me I Bow and Selected Poems 1980–2013
“In an overly striving world, Zentetsu’s message is refreshingly direct—spiritual discoveries come as accidents, and we’d best prepare to trip, stumble, and fall into the openness of mind. Full of wise humor and engaging stories, this book invites us into that surprising and delightful journey.”—Judith Simmer-Brown, author of Dakini’s Warm Breath
“Enlightenment Is an Accident is a potent antidote to the materialism and bypassing on offer in many spiritual circles these days. Accessible and kind, Burkett invites us to take off our masks, see ourselves clearly, and welcome the accidents of life as the very ground of awakening.”—nico + devon hase, authors of How Not to Be a Hot Mess
“Tim Burkett’s Enlightenment Is an Accident beautifully weaves stories from ancient wisdom, sixty years of Zen practice, and his time with some of the great planters of Buddhism on North American soil to create a warm-hearted invitation to a more joyous, more free, and kinder way of being in the world.”—Ben Connelly, author of Inside Vasubandhu’s Yogacara and Mindfulness and Intimacy
“[An] illuminating entry. . . . The well-balanced mix of Zen wisdom and psychological principles makes for persuasive lessons. Buddhist beginners and those seeking to revitalize their practice will be inspired.”—Publishers Weekly
