About the book:
I found this book on a coffee table and couldn't let it go. Written by a French born, Buddhist ordained nun, it simply puts into words what you need to know about zen, its origins, evolution, basic concepts and wisdom behind it. Accompanied by beautiful serene pictures, it's a true gem. It's zen.
From the book:
'Sentient beings are numberless, I vow to save them all.
Delusions are inexhaustible, I vow to cut them all.
Dharma gates are limitless, I vow to penetrate them all.
The Buddha's way is unsurpassable, I vow to achieve it.'
