365 Zen : Daily Readings Jean Smith

Edition: Paperback; 1999-05-01
Summary:
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
