Zen is a spiritual journey that can transform and enrich our lives. Buddhism teaches us that the material world is an illusion, encouraging us to journey inward rather than outward. Yet paradoxically, many of the great Zen masters were themselves world travelers, starting with Bodhidharma, who brought Zen from India to China in the sixth century. Divided into eight meditations, experienced travel writer Eric Chaline examines how a deeper understanding of the Zen way of life can enrich every journey you take, from a simple country ramble to an epic journey across the world.
