In this spiritual memoir, Gustav Ericsson shares reflections and glimpses into the story of how he learned to stop and sit down, be still and listen. Crafted around a travel journal from a reflective trip to Japan, My Christian Journey with Zen is an expression of how meditation practice has grown in both his life and work as a hospital chaplain. Ericsson studied and was ordained under Zen Master Gudo Nishijima in Japan, and was later ordained as a priest in the Lutheran Church of Sweden. He lives with his family in Umeå, in northern Sweden.
