Zen 2012 Calendar

Begin every day with a cup of clarity. Packed with truth, insight, and mind-expanding wisdom from both Eastern and Western writers, the Zen Calendar is adapted from the powerful bestseller The Little Zen Companion. On each page is a koan, quote, parable, sutra, or poem to meditate on and bring a bit of enlightenment. Annie Dillard: How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. Basho: Nothing in the voice of the cicada intimates how soon it will die. D. T. Suzuki: Zen has no business with ideas. And Bassui: My true desire is to relieve others of their pain though I myself may fall into hell. Take the leap! Includes a mini-guide to meditation.
