{"product_id":"9781523512454","title":"Little Book of Zen","description":"While it seeks neither to define Zen nor answer its most famous koan (\"What is the sound of one hand clapping?\"), The Little Book of Zen points to a calming way of looking at the world. Each page features a quote, phrase, story, koan, haiku, or poem, interspersed with essays on the Buddha, Zen arts, significant masters, and more. The feeling is that of a meditation book with 2,500 years of wisdom - from Lao-tzu to Lily Tomlin. It's a celebration of intuition: \"If a man wishes to be sure of the road he treads on, he must close his eyes and walk in the dark.\" - St. John the Cross. Individuality: \"Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; seek what they sought.\" - Basho. And self-discovery: \"We already have everything we need.\" - Pema Cho dro n.  New material is taken from contemporary spiritual leaders, writers, meditation teachers, and others with an emphasis on the practice of mindfulness - on the heart, rather than the head. Pen and ink illustrations from the author bring an additional layer of feeling and beauty.","brand":"David Schiller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46900402716990,"sku":"9781523512454","price":249.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781523512454_6399bf17-ced5-4f4e-b8e3-c7d99ccd0457.jpg?v=1707529876","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781523512454","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
