Discover hidden practices, secretly transmitted in authentic Zen lineages, of using body, speech, and mind to remove obstructions to awakening.
Though Zen is best known for the practices of koan introspection and “just sitting” or shikantaza, there are in fact many other practices transmitted in Zen lineages.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A powerful and spirited offering of embodied methods for entering the dharma gates of absorption and awakening available to you in this very life. Meido Roshi shares some of his Rinzai Zen lineage’s tools with masterful skill.”—Dosho Port, author of Keep Me in Your Heart a While and translator of The Record of Empty Hall“Hidden Zen is an outstanding offering with a unique integration of body practice and ways to cultivate the energy required to sharpen our awareness. Drawing deeply on Rinzai teachings, this book offers a missing link in Zen approaches, encouraging readers to develop a truly embodied practice in addition to sitting zazen. With practical application of esoteric Rinzai body techniques, readers of Meido Roshi’s book will find a valuable vehicle for liberation and awakening.”—Jules Shuzen Harris, author of Zen beyond Mindfulness“The practices in this book carry the scent of pickled radish, incense, and indigo dye—they are soaked in the authenticity of Rinzai Zen’s orally transmitted inner teachings. This practical and clear manual points to the essence of Zen as a full-bodied, cellular process to be investigated in all twenty-four hours of the day.”—Corey Ichigen Hess, author of the Zen Embodiment blog
