Product Description |
|
The story of the 80-year-old Catholic priest who sheds tears his first time meditating; the parable of potatoes that are best cleaned by being rubbed against each other; the koan about the sound of one hand--in 365 Zen, Jean Smith mines the now vast body of English language Zen literature, plucking out gems for appreciative handling. Laid out for daily contemplation, each passage is less than a page in length, and although short enough to be read in just a few moments, they have enough gleaming facets to keep you turning them over all day. Seasoned students and avid readers of Zen will find much of the material familiar--Thich Nhat Hanh, Shunryu Suzuki, Charlotte Joko Beck--but having it sorted and refined into daily doses makes for convenient practice. And whether you are a novice or an expert, you will be sure to find enough treasures to keep your mind unbusy every day of the year. --Brian Bruya

 Excellent Contemporary Work |
| Review Date: July 17, 1999 |
| Reviewer: , |
| This book is a very good book in understanding the wisdom of zen philosophy. A great coffee table book which is meant to be read once a day throughout the year (typically). It is a good book for those who want to brush up on their zen knowledge and awakening. Solid book! |
Gentle Reminders on how we ought to live our lives

| Review Date: November 13, 2000 |
| Reviewer: , |
| Very thoughtful collection of quotes and stories. Kept on my desk, the book is opened when a reflective break is needed from the stress of daily life. These short reminders are effective guideposts on a subject that is evasive and impossible to learn through book learning. I highly recommend it. |
Good book

| This collection is a good way to gain access to zen writing and writers. I have found it both inspirational and practical. The readings beg you to think and then to apply them to situations each of us encounter every day. I also highly recommend "Open Your Mind, Open Your Life: A Little Book of Eastern Wisdom" by Taro Gold. Excellent! |
An excellent introduction and anecdotal book

| This book sits in a very easy place to find in my apartment. Tt is the perfect book to pick up, read an entry and move on in your task. The lessons are all very easy to absorb and enjoyable to read. If you have even a passing interest in Zen, you'll find this an enjoyable book - as will any who visit you. |
Good Zen book for beginner.

| I would recommend this book for Zen beginners. The content is taken from a wide variety of classic Zen authors. It introduces the philosophy and concept in a brief yet precise point. The short stories are humorous and at the same time profound. I take this book with me on an airplane, a train.... |
