"Barbara O’Brien’s wide-ranging account of Zen history is conveyed with a master storyteller’s ability to keep the forest from getting lost in a myriad of trees. Wearing her scholarship lightly, she blends just the right amount of skepticism about her hagiographic sources with a deep appreciation for the Dharma." — Barry Magid, author of

Millions of kids have lost a hero.Guys like Irwin are a rare breed.
Sad indeed.
What a shame. A completely weird accident.
Not just any hero, either, the finest kind. Courage that backed up kindness and fought against fear. They have lost a teacher as well, a connection to the wild and scary.
Poor Steve. My dogs love to watch Animal Planet. I’m sure they’ll miss him.
I,m going to miss Steve.no one will ever fill his shoes.He had it all.Lovely family.I enjoyed watching him. He had so much empathy for animals.He was too young to die.but I,m happy he got to be with all the animals.I was shocked when I saw the headlines on the enternet.I send my deepest sympathy to his wife terri and her 2 children.May god keep them stronge at this terrible time.we,ll miss you steve.There should be more people like him.
