What is Zen? The “do” or “Dao”, the “way” to so-called enlightenment? Its everyday wisdom is mirrored in these 28 philosophical, motivational, often humorous tales of Zen masters, along with Tanya Schmid’s personal anecdotes from thirty years of Zen practice. These classic tales, told in language for a modern world, display life’s natural simplicity and magic, their truth flashing like lightening in a midnight sky, their warmth like coming home to a hearth we know so well. These stories display the paradoxes of Zen -- the sage-like beginner’s mind; the target inside, not outside; the way of softness prevailing over hardness; taking action with the attitude of no place to go, nothing to do; to treat one’s self with discipline and others with kindness -- all in the search for inner peace. Tanya Schmid condenses decades of Zen and martial arts training into entertaining parables that make Asian wisdom comprehendible to western society.
