Reviews

Nishihira’s accessible and delightful book highlights traditional and innovative aspects of No-Mind: consciously becoming-one with rain, music, audience, or opponent; throwing one’s mind into one’s body, stopping nowhere, to be everywhere; disengaging with the self in interpersonal exchange, allowing care to emerge. Sevilla-Liu’s insightful essay encourages educators to juxtapose No-Mind and the cultivation of being-mode to the prevailing doing-mode. * Chiara Robbiano, Associate Professor of Philosophy, University College Utrecht, Utrecht University, The Netherlands *
