The Zen Lovers James O Ceallaigh

The path of love collides with the everyday world. Following the death of her teacher Oshiro Roshi, Marie is running the Shining Sea Zen Center, but dangers lurk for her, both physical and spiritual. Relationships, sex, conflict, violence - all in the name of compassion. The Zen Lovers is a novel that will appeal to truth seekers everywhere. Oshiro Roshi left her with the responsibility, but no clear authority. Why didn't he foresee the problems? She smiled to herself. Of course he did. Master of problems, he loved creating problems. "Better to have problems" he would always say. Otto stooped to clear the doorway, wisps of his blonde shoulder length hair across his face. "All's good?" he asked. A few minutes and several pleasantries later he was sipping tea and trying to relax. Marie smiled. He glanced at her, and in that glance took in her delicate female shape. He felt embarrassed to notice such things and tried to put it from his mind.
