Now I Know You:

Maezumi Roshi was a pioneer in bringing Zen Buddhism to the West—he founded the Zen Center of Los Angeles and dedicated his life to teaching his American students. This DVD features intimate dialogues with Maezumi Roshi's family and spiritual descendants, and it also contains dramatic footage from his funeral in Japan. This is truly a revealing glimpse into the life of a great spiritual master.

Appreciate Your Life: 

Here is the first major collection of the teachings of Taizan Maezumi Roshi (1931–1995), one of the first Japanese Zen masters to bring Zen to the West and founding abbot of the Zen Center of Los Angeles. These short, inspiring readings illuminate Zen practice in simple, eloquent language. Topics include zazen and Zen koans, how to appreciate your life as the life of the Buddha, and the essential matters of life and death.
