Więcej o książce

The history of Tassajara Hot Springs reveals its longstanding significance, initially as a healing site for Native Americans and later attracting Spanish explorers, trappers, and homesteaders in the 1800s. Chinese laborers played a crucial role in making the area accessible by constructing roads for horse-drawn wagons. The narrative includes vivid photographs and stories from various eras, culminating in the 1960s when it became the first Zen Buddhist monastery in the Western world, established by Shunryu Suzuki.
