Silent Center: Zero Lessons on Zen

By Thomas Orr Anderson

Like a book about the sound of rain, this book contains nothing of its topic. It points toward what cannot be said then steps aside.

In Silent Center Zero Lessons on Zen, Thomas Orr Anderson offers playful koans, parables, and field notes that tilt perception until wonder spills in.

A woodpecker laughs at your seriousness. An eagle reflects without delay. A barrel never waits to pour. A prodigy adds both infinities and lands on zero.

These quick pieces do not explain. They invite you to stop chasing the onion's pit, to quit searching for a center once the circle is gone, to notice the plop then the ripples then the stillness.

Read a page and look up. If you get it, enjoy. If you don't, enjoy even more. The treasure is not another idea. It is the direct taste of Now.
