Dear Sir / Madam,
we would like to present you the following books by Zen Master Zensho
W. Kopp, which were published by EchnAton Verlag, together with the
accompanying audio books, published by steinbach sprechende bücher.
The titles were successfully introduced into the German-speaking market
and were very well received by the readers and listeners. Therefore we
would now like to make the Zen Master's wisdom and teaching available
to a greater foreign market.
In his books and audio books, the internationally renowned Zen Master
brings the timeless wisdom of Western and Eastern mysticism into a
form adapted to our modern language and way of living.
We would be delighted if your publishing house could bring closer the
clear, modern words of this extraordinary, awakened Western Zen
Master to spiritually interested readers and listeners in book and audio
form.
For the books, we not only deliver the complete English translations but
also the print-ready typesetting, the print-ready cover files, and for the
audio books, the production-ready audio files.

1. Awakening to your true self
The source of all joy is constantly present within us
We are so caught up with the concerns of everyday
life that we have lost ourselves. This book deals with
the question of the meaning of life. For ultimately,
this is the question of our true self. It is the question
of who and what we really are at the base of our
being.
In clear words, Zen Master Zensho W. Kopp shows
us in an inspiring way how we can see through the
deceptive nature of our concepts so that we rise up
above our self-made limitations. Through this we
transcend our identification with the unreal and
reach the absolute reality of our true self. We
experience a liberating transformation to a deeper
and all-embracing universal consciousness and thus
to freedom of the mind.

3. The direct ZEN-way to liberation
A profound wisdom which transforms and liberates
In this book we feel the absolute directness and
freedom of Zen. With clear words that expose each
illusion, Zen Master Zensho captures the essence in
a nutshell. He shows us the mirror of our true being,
and in it we recognise our constantly present
buddha-nature, our original, true self. His clear
words are filled with such spiritual force that they
touch us at our very deepest. Here, the logic of our
conceptual, discriminating thinking is often
profoundly shaken so that we can grasp the truth
beyond all words.
In a clear and lively way, Zensho shows us a direct
path to spiritual realisation and, by means of
authentic Zen-anecdotes and quotes, he brings to
life the old masters of Zen. With Zenistic
consistency, everything is swept away so that we are
able to reach liberation of the mind beyond our
limited intellectual logic and can experience the
state of pure awareness.

4. Lao Tse Tao Te King – The book of Tao and spiritual force
A timeless wisdom book of unique mystical fullness and linguistic
beauty
The 2500 year old Tao Te King by the Chinese sage
Lao-tse is a jewel of Eastern wisdom. It counts as
one of the most profound and most translated books
of world literature. In a language of incomparable
imagery the Tao Te King speaks of the Tao, the
divine origin of all existence, and its effect in man as
spiritual force.
Its goal is to lead him back to the original oneness
with the Tao, and so into harmony with the allembracing wholeness of existence. In this
outstanding new transcription, Zensho has
succeeded in masterly conveying the whole mystical
expressiveness of the work whilst strictly adhering
to the original sense, and thus providing a
completely new and deeper insight.
