The author presents a series of 79 visual koans in the form of dot-to-dots which help to translate Eastern thought into Western understanding. Each illustration is accompanied by a concise phrase from Buddhist teachings along with a brief interpretation. There is also an on-going sequence of relaxation instructions drawn from Buddhist psychology. Each set fosters a unique interaction between mind and spirit, which will help lead the reader from confusion to enlightenment.

Excellent Way Out,
This review is from: Dot to Dot Zen: A Primer of Buddhist Psychology (Paperback)
Enigmatic, intriguing, mysterious write. Book dissolves the discursive mind on 3 separate tracks, in parallel. Each page is a dose of confusion (visual koan), clarity (vignette), and direction (focusing target). I picked up the book at the Pittsburgh Carnegie Library, while researching for my next project. It cought my eye because the author's visual koans ("dots") exactly parallel my own meditative "geometry of observation" (a while back I developed a similar "dots and spaces" exercise (Present Perfect/Lotus Effect)). So, I was instantly thrilled to see the footsteps of a fellow mind as he seeks a state of no-mind. Perhaps, the best way to conceptualize this particularly body of work is that it's a kind of take on the Ox Herding pictures. Just as enigmatic and satisfying to a Zen-inoculated mind.
Pavel Somov, Ph.D., author of Present Perfect, Lotus Effect, and Eating the Moment
