Zen Moments -- Steps on the Path to Peace: Incorporating the Wisdom of Master Miao Tsan into Everyday Living - Hardcover

In this accessible volume of Zen wisdom, Venerable Master Miao Tsan guides us on a daily pilgrimage toward enlightenment. Based on the length of traditional prayer beads, this beautifully illustrated book offers 108 inspirational quotes and poems that can be read and reflected upon again and again. Like all good kharma, Master Miao Tsans wisdom is simple enough to incorporate into our daily lives, yet provocative enough to provide the stepping stones for a spiritual transformation. This little book is perfect for bedside or desk or to carry everywhere, continually reminding us that the quality of our thoughts creates the quality of our lives, keeping us conscious of our mind and our surroundings. Once again, the Venerable Master illuminates that the journey to a better life begins with us, and that it is within our own power to achieve happiness and understanding.

Ordained as a Buddhist monk in Taiwan in 1992, Master Miao Tsan had already shown keen insight and understanding in regard to the profound principles of Zen teachings before becoming a member of the sangha. He frequently received invitations from major governmental organisations and universities in Taiwan to give lectures on dharma and conduct courses in meditation and Zen training. Over the past decade, he has conducted hundreds of meditation courses as well as several Zen-Seven and Zen-Three retreats in the United States, Mexico, mainland China, and Taiwan. He lectures across the U.S. and teaches and speaks at universities and medical centres such as the University of Texas, the Texas Medical Center, the University of Houston, Purdue University, and the University of Nevada at Las Vegas. His reputation and dharma teachings have spread quickly in recent years, and today he has a large, devoted following in both Asia and the West.
