Zen "Chicken Soup for the Soul: " a collection of lovely, accessible stories and parables that offer wisdom, guidance and food for thought in today's world.
This beautifully illustrated, small gem of a book presents timeless Zen fables that address the everyday problems and spiritual crises that we all must contend with in late 20th century life. Through these elegant, deceptively simple stories, the reader gains a rich understanding of the Zen Buddhist philosophy of mindfulness, compassion, and enlightenment which offers a positive new way of living and being. At once warm, accessible, profound, and humorous, this book is an ideal introduction to ancient Asian wisdom that is as relevant today as it was 2000 years ago.
