This document is not to be printed, sold or otherwise commercially traded or distributed. It is made available for religious, educational or research purposes ONLY and out of a sincere concern than a valuable out-of-print document might fall into obscurity were it not made more readily available to the worldwide Sangha.

During 2002 and 2003, great efforts were expended by Kirby Sanders (Zheng Dao), a Lay Disciple of the Zen Buddhhist Order of Hsu Yun to contact Mme. Schloegl / Miyoko-ni as the copyright holder of the document for permission to re-publish via Internet posting. Such efforts included contact with the former publisher, Shambhala Press and The Buddhist Society UK. Unfortunately, however, no direct contact information could be found. If Mme. Schloegl or her representatives, agents or assigns locate this document, it would be greatly appreciated if they would contact us at e-mail ozarkzen@yahoo.com to discuss and formalize such matters.

Slight variations and modifications of the original document format were made by Mr. Sanders in 2003 to better suit the electronic “ebook” medium and to facilitate tracking of illegitimate commercial duplications.
