Description
The perfect antidote to the fast-paced nature of our modern world, The Little Book of Zen is an easy-to-understand guide to the practice of Zen.
This bitesize book falls into two parts, starting with an introduction to Zen and a description of the way to get the best out of it. It gives a short history of the practice, which originated in Japan after adaptation from a Chinese philosophy, and shows how the benefits of Zen are just as relevant today. It also includes a variety of easy-to-use meditations for relaxation, stress relief, and enlightenment.
The second half of the book features categories of Zen-type quotations on life, happiness, nature, and more.
Zen Quotations
Life and Happiness
'Your mind is a powerful thing. When you filter it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change.'
Gautama Buddha
'The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.'
Ralph Waldo Emerson
