Zen Mind 2014 Wall Calendar

Read Free Books and Download eBooks

The mind of Zen Buddhism is revealed through authentic sacred art and profoundly simple wisdom. Zenga art, Zen-inspired brushstroke paintings, surprises and confounds our expectations. Although created by seventeenth- and eighteenth-century monks who were amateur painters, they have a startlingly modern appeal. The Gitter-Yelen collection of Zenga paintings is widely regarded as one of the preeminent collections in the West. Each month, the Zen Mind wall calendar features a Zenga masterwork paired with quotes from Not Always So by Shunryu Suzuki (1905-1971). Suzuki-roshi was considered one of the most influential Zen teachers of his time and was a direct spiritual descendant of thirteenth-century Zen Master Dogen.

I've ordered the new year's version of this calendar in each of the past several years. Simply glancing at the colors, style, and artwork of this calendar brings one to a deeper state of inner peace. Unlike my other wall hangings, and unlike the view out my window, the visual projection of this calendar changes monthly. On occasion during the month I'm close enough to read the monthly quote, and it always hits the pause button on my chattering mind.

This calendar is useful, well made, and includes valuable quotations from Zen sources. I especially appreciate the wonderful art that accompanies each of the monthly entries. A little bit of more information on important Buddhist holidays would have been much appreciated.

I love this serie of calendars. I've had one each year for the past several, as one of my "stocking stuffer" gifts from my wife. Last year, no calendar and I've missed it hanging in my office all year. This time, I've taken matters into my own hands and I'll have Zen Mind for 2014...at least on the wall.

Try reading this collection of short stories and poems.The title story shows how Zen can change a moment in life.The poems provide a path to prepare for meditation.

Get it every year.Look forward to it. It's beutifully done -- and year after year the new quotes and illustrations are all excellent. Thank you for a fine product
