Customer Reviews

A nice little book

Although other reviews refer to ancient wisdom, this book is not a collection of quotes by famous Zen masters. The book is filled with aphorisms about time broken down into short chapters: Life, Death, Emotions, Now, Desire, Perfection, and Zazen that are pleasantly thought-provoking.

It's Zen o'clock. Do you know where you are?

This little book is filled with the wisdom of the ancients, the thinking of the Zen masters of time. It is the kind of book that a seeker of truth can utilize for meditative purposes, or just open it and read a few passages to bring your mind back to the "observer" state where we do not judge, we do not make demands, we do not find fault. In this fast-paced world of noise, chaos, and responsibilities, this little gem of a book can return your mind to simplicity and serenity in just a few moments. Whether you are a newcomer to Zen research, or accomplished Zen master, the truth contained in this book will speak to your heart of hearts.
