A Handful of Nothing: 88 Stories Pointing the Way - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

How do you use Zen Buddhism in daily life? The 88 short Zen stories in this book attempt to point the way in clear, simple language. The stories feature a young Zen Buddhist monk living in a monastery near a remote village, asking an old master questions about life, death, love, suffering, honesty, ethics, and eternity. Along the way, the young monk learns to see the world as it is, without supernatural or theological spin, and he walks with the purpose of mindfulness, spreading compassion, empathy, and integrity. The author has practiced making this philosophy part of his daily life for nearly 50 years, through triumphs and tragedies. Nobody is perfect, but the key is to get better every day. Read these short stories, think about the message of each, and if you try to incorporate them into your life, like throwing a pebble in a pond, the positive ripples you make could have a far-ranging, positive impact on the people in your life and the world.
