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.
