""Don't-know mind"" is our enlightened mind before ideas, opinions, or concepts arise to create suffering. Practicing with don't-know mind has long been a central concern of Korean Zen. Here, an American Zen master in the Korean lineage brings the teaching to life by using stories about the Chinese and Korean Zen masters as jumping-off points for his own teaching.

Don't-Know Mind

is a clear, direct, and heartfelt presentation of Zen teaching applicable to anyone, both for formal practice and for all the rest of life.

Reviews for Don't-Know Mind: The Spirit of Korean Zen

Shrobe does a fine job of unpacking stories and words for meaning without getting lost in the conceptualization that Zen debunks. -- Publishers Weekly Reading Richard Shrobe's Don't-Know Mind is like drinking a glass of cold water when you are thirsty. Clean, clear, and bright like the author himself, it brings fresh life to the teachings of Korean Zen. If you have ever grappled with how to bring the essence of traditional Zen into your everyday life, this is the book for you. --Jane Dobisz, author of The Wisdom of Solitude: A Zen Retreat in the Woods Wonderful! Wonderful! But too many words! How do you attain the point of these many words and speech? Go to the kitchen and drink a glass of cold water! --Zen Master Seung Sahn, author of The Compass of Zen
