Ｚｅｎ　Ｗｉｓｄｏｍ　ｆｏｒ　ｔｈｅ　Ａｎｘｉｏｕｓ

Zen meditation may conjure up images of sitting in silence for long hours, but according to Buddhist monk and author Shinsuke Hosokawa, Zen can be summed up as "the knowledge needed for a person to live life with a positive outlook." With this in mind, he has produced this charmingly illustrated collection of thoughts and sayings to help you live life with less stress and anxiety.

The sayings include:
・Pay attention to what is right in front of your eyes
・Nothing happens by chance. Every encounter has its meaning
・Be careful not to confuse the means and the purpose
・Keep flowing just like water
・Nothing will control you
・Even a bad day is a good day
・Check the ground beneath your feet when you’re in trouble
・You’ll never walk alone
These 52 mindful sayings mirror the 52 steps traditionally taken to achieve Buddhist enlightenment, and they also coincide with the 52 weeks of the year〓passing through the seasons, both in the natural world and our lives. Each page has an illustration and a simple, meditative reflection to help you see into your own heart, accept your current state of being, reduce anxiety and find peace.
