Excerpt From Book
This book doesn't presume to define Zen, but instead to offer a taste of Zen's way of looking at the world: where the best moment is now, where things are what they seem to be, where we see with the refreshing directness of a child and not through eyes grown stale from routine. The sayings, poems, parables, stories and other words that follow have been chosen for their power to suggest, and also for the surprising pleasures of their language. Some are serious, some irreverent, some beautifully evocative. Some might be puzzling--when words are used not to communicate an idea, but as tools to plant a wordless truth, some pretty strange things can happen. (from the author's introduction) Excerpted from The Little Zen Companion. Reprinted with permission by Workman Publishing.
