Publisher's Synopsis
Zen meditation is an enabling practice. By fostering insight, clarity, and stability of mind, the practice enables us to respond with compassionate wisdom to whatever situations may arise. In these seventy-four elegant essays, whose subjects range from an ancient Latin motto encountered in an English churchyard to a grandchild's first questions about the Buddha, poet and essayist Ben Howard explores the challenges and rewards of practicing Zen in our divided, endangered, and hyper-connected culture.
