No Better Place

"No Better Place is a penetrating and affecting presentation of the Buddha Dharma cast in a thoroughly Western idiom. Hoag's simple, clear prose invites entry in this very place, now."

-Danan Henry Roshi
"Hoag Holmgren writes from the depths of his own understanding in this profound and simply expressed primer. These words will touch and inspire readers to surrender to a joyful experience of compassion for all."
-Jiun Hosen, Osho
Abbess, Bodhi Manda Zen Center

"While No Better Place may seem like a slight book, it's actually a wide-open doorway-into the essence of Zen! It says so much so succinctly and insightfully, that reading its brief chapters brings real "Aha!" delight. I look forward to sharing this book with my own Zen students. Many thanks to Hoag Holmgren!"

-Rafe Martin Sensei,
award-winning author, founding teacher and spiritual director, Endless Path Zendo

"No Better Place is simple, clear, and beautifully written. I highly recommend it for anyone (new or experienced) interested in the path of Zen. This book captures the heart of this journey and beckons one to step in."
-Peggy Metta Sheehan, Sensei,
Zen Center of Denver
