About this title

Synopsis

When the Buddha was asked to explain the serenity, patience and cheerfulness of his disciples he replied: "They have no regret over the past, nor do they brood over the future. They live in the present; therefore they are radiant."

Simplicity, restraint, and naturalness: with Zen it's effortless to cultivate these essential, life-enhancing qualities. Take a simple approach to Zen Buddhism, one that allows you to imbue every moment with beauty, spiritual richness, and wisdom. Effect a vital lifestyle change, guided by evocative photographs and illustrations, enlightening stories, explanations of essential concepts, basic Zen background and practice, and practical design principles for the home. Here are noble truths, treasures, and precepts; the postures of meditation; ways of establishing a sanctuary; vows and sutras; and illuminating ideas for increasing well-being. Clear the clutter in living rooms, bathrooms, and bedrooms; enhance the sense of space; and emphasize natural materials. Bring Zen into the kitchen with new tastes, recipes, and the right equipment--and into the garden with paths, stone wall groupings, plants and trees, water and bridges. Awaken your spirit!
