Zen Moments

In this accessible volume of Zen wisdom, Venerable Master Miao Tsan guides us on a daily pilgrimage toward enlightenment. Based on the length of traditional prayer beads, this beautifully illustrated book offers 108 inspirational quotes and poems that can be read and reflected upon again and again. Like all good kharma, Master Miao Tsan’s wisdom is simple enough to incorporate into our daily lives, yet provocative enough to provide the stepping stones for a spiritual transformation. This little book is perfect for bedside or desk or to carry everywhere, continually reminding us that the quality of our thoughts creates the quality of our lives, keeping us conscious of our mind and our surroundings. Once again, the Venerable Master illuminates that the journey to a better life begins with us, and that it is within our own power to achieve happiness and understanding.
