Updated  revised  with a new cover  new trim size  and illustrations throughout  the national
bestseller The Little Zen Companion  with 516 000 copies in print  is repackaged for a new
generation of seekers as The Little Book of Zen. A perfect gift and book of discovery  its
maverick spirit celebrates ideas drawn from Zen Buddhism that have tremendous currency today:
mindfulness  meditation  compassion  paying attention to the here and now  and finding a deeper
meaning in life. While it seeks neither to define Zen nor answer its most famous koan (What is
the sound of one hand clapping??)  The Little Book of Zen points to a calming way of looking at
the world. Each page features a quote  phrase  story  koan  haiku  or poem  interspersed with
essays on the Buddha  Zen arts  significant masters  and more. The feeling is that of a
meditation book with 2 500 years of wisdom?from Lao-tzu to Lily Tomlin. It's a celebration of
intuition: If a man wishes to be sure of the road he treads on  he must close his eyes and walk
in the dark.??St. John the Cross. Individuality: Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the
men of old  seek what they sought.??Basho. And self-discovery: We already have everything we
need.??Pema Cho¿dro¿n. New material is taken from contemporary spiritual leaders  writers 
meditation teachers  and others with an emphasis on the practice of mindfulness?on the heart 
rather than the head. Pen and ink illustrations from the author bring an additional layer of
feeling and beauty.
