365 Days of Zen

Zen has a reputation for being cryptic. Koans about one hand clapping, masters answering questions with silence, that sort of thing. This book takes a different route: one page a day, each grounded in a real teaching and explained in plain language you can actually use.

Across 365 entries you'll meet the great teachers of the tradition alongside the practices that made Zen famous: zazen, beginner's mind, and the art of doing one thing at a time. Each page stands on its own and takes about five minutes to read.

You don't need a meditation cushion or any prior knowledge. All you need is a quiet moment each morning. By the end of the year, the stillness tends to follow you around.
