Praise

“Joan Sutherland has always seemed to be one of the ancient Chinese sages, reborn. They studied the mind and heart and found a way even in difficult times. She tells us the koans, healing stories, poems, and jokes that are so helpful to us now. It’s nice to be in the hands of a good writer too. If we’ll just step into the mystery, she’ll guide us on moonlit paths. She shows us a gate inside the obstacle, a path where there is no path. She is a true guide to the practices for our time.”—John Tarrant, author of Bring Me The Rhinoceros

“Joan Sutherland’s Koan Salon in Santa Fe was something new, an innovation in a very old tradition that loved and respected both the ancestors and the participants. The field in that room was alive and expansive. Something enlightening was going on. I’m excited that this book will introduce many more people to her work.”—Natalie Goldberg, author of Writing Down the Bones

“A clearer path or a better guide would be hard to find. Of course, you still won’t be getting out of this forest alive.”—Red Pine, author of Three Zen Sutras

“Lush and evocative. . . Almost every sentence pulses with delicate insight, illuminating for us how to ‘keep company with koans’ so that we might uncover the most intimate depths of our heart–mind. In Sutherland’s experience, a koan transforms through sustained engagement; what begins as an invitation to question eventually ‘starts to look like shelter.’ Through practice, koans become enduring, all-weather friends, ‘robust, capable of being hauled around, leaned on, and argued with’—friends that lead the way to the experience of freedom.”—Buddhadharma: The Practitioner’s Quarterly

“Inherently thoughtful and thought provoking, informed and informative, exceptional in organization and presentation, Through Forests of Every Color will have a very special appeal to students and practitioners of Zen Buddhism and a highly valued addition to personal, professional, community, and academic library collections.”—Midwest Book Review
