Back Cover text
"Daido Roshi challenges today's Zen students with quotes from sages who lived a thousand or so years ago. The deep, unrehearsed life questions that these words evoke in the students are answered with often practical, funny, or mind-shattering responses. yet Daido Roshi offers those who come forward nothing to hang on to. This book is important for students and novice teachers alike. It is a testimony to the vital relevance of alive Zen practice in our time.' - Roshi Bernie Glassman, author of Bearing Witness and Instructions to the Cook
"In this unique book we get a rare glimpse of the face-to-face, intimate encounter of earnestly questioning student and accomplished Zen master. Each exchange has the potential to bring insight, even to the reader." - Jan Chozen Bays, author of Jizo Bodhisattva
"Cave of Tigers brings the age-old practice of Dharma combat into a modern context. Daido Roshi's grasp of the historical material and his long experience of teaching through these Zen encounters with students make this a valuable presentation of an otherwise neglected subject. I recommend it to anyone wishing to learn about this traditional and still very vital practice." - Dennis Genpo Merzel, Roshi, author of Big Mind, Big Heart: Finding Your Way
