At the same time modern American Buddhists often find it difficult to integrate zazen seated Zen meditation with lives of family work and social engagement. This book offers a fascinating guide to overcoming both these dilemmas. A study of how one Zen group returned to an ancient Chinese tradition of community meditation practice without a leader or hierarchy this book also outlines an authentic "grassroots" approach urging people from all walks of life to come together in meditation and the study of dharma. Grassroots Zen focuses on the challenge of truly becoming one with the moment in our frantically paced society; of finding a space for the passing self; and of achieving balance between Zen practice and daily life as well as individuality in community. A thoughtful and absorbing work Grassroots Zen is an important book for those seeking a practice that is truly of the people by the people and for the people." ; AS NEW Boston ; Rutland, VT ; Tokyo : Tuttle Publishing Company, 2001. hardcover

Could machines created to cure have learned to kill Scrambling for answers Mulder and Scully are opposed at every step by faceless enemies with all the resources of the government -- even perhaps of their own agency -- at their command. Enemies who will stop at nothing to ensure that the secret of immortality falls in the right hands -- their hands.
