520 |a Love, Roshi explores the relationship between Robert Baker Aitken (1917-2010), American Zen teacher and author, and his distant correspondents, individuals drawn to Zen teachings and practice through books.

Aitken's twentieth-century American Zen valued social justice and was compatible with work and family life. Helen J. Baroni makes use of Aitken's extensive correspondence preserved in an archive at the University of Hawai'i to provide a window to view the beliefs and practices of the least-studied--and a difficult to study--segment of the Western Buddhist community, Buddhist sympathizers and solo practitioners.
