A simple, enjoyable explanation of the principles of Zen thinking and living. This practical manual shows you how you can apply the harmony of Zen to everyday things.
An easy recommendation for people first getting introduced to Zen. It is a beautiful read, with charming illustrations, zen quotes scattered about, and information layed out in an engaging way.
Yikes, that was pretty tedious. I just wanted to know a bit more about Zen, since a friend said she found it interesting, but I can fairly confidently say it is not for me at this point in my life. Although I'm sure anyone with a small child sometimes feels like chucking it all in and going to sit in a monastery for a few months!
