Publisher's Synopsis
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, these works of art have a startlingly modern appeal. Each month features a unique Zenga masterwork paired with a quote from Not Always So by Shunryu Suzuki (1905-1971), one of the most influential Zen teachers of his time.
