{"product_id":"the-little-book-of-zen-by-david-schiller-9781523512454","title":"The Little Book of Zen","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpdated, revised, with a new cover, new trim size, and illustrations throughout, the national bestseller \u003ci\u003eThe Little Zen Companion\u003c\/i\u003e, with 516,000 copies in print, is repackaged for a new generation of seekers as \u003ci\u003eThe Little Book of Zen\u003c\/i\u003e. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile it seeks neither to define Zen nor answer its most famous koan ('What is the sound of one hand clapping?'), \u003ci\u003eThe Little Book of Zen\u003c\/i\u003e 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: \u003cem\u003e'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.\u003c\/em\u003e Individuality: \u003cem\u003e'Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; seek what they sought.' — Basho.\u003c\/em\u003e And self-discovery: \u003cem\u003e'We already have everything we need.' — Pema Chödrön.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNew 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47537097113836,"sku":"9781523512454","price":19.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781523512454-the-little-book-of-zen.jpg?v=1776394288","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/the-little-book-of-zen-by-david-schiller-9781523512454","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
