The Essence of Zen

Zen Buddhism is a blend of philosophy and religion that originated in China more than 2,500 years ago. It places great emphasis on meditation, mindfulness, and the pursuit of enlightenment. Zen teachings are often expressed in short, cryptic phrases known as koans, which are designed to challenge the logical mind and lead to sudden insights.

Words hold immense power to shape our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Zen Words for the Heart is a carefully curated collection of over 200 Zen koans, sayings, and stories that have been passed down through generations. Each entry is accompanied by a brief explanation and commentary to help you understand its deeper meaning.
