Subtle Sound: The Zen Teachings of Maurine Stuart
Edited by Roko Sherry Chayat
Maurine Stuart (1922-1990), spiritual director of the Cambridge Buddhist Association in Cambridge, Massachusetts, was a Zen teacher of legendary wisdom and dedication. Before coming to Zen, she was a musician who never wasted a note; as a Zen teacher, she never wasted a word, a look, or a gesture.
This book is a precious record of the teaching of this ferociously compassionate woman who happened to be one of the first female American Zen masters.
