Little Zen Page-A-Day Calendar 2003 [Calendar]

David Schiller (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 2002

Wisdom to wake you up. Wisdom to slow you down. And wisdom to accompany a look outside the window--into the rain or shine--and find beauty or truth or both. From seekers and sages, mystics and mavericks, from poets, monks, iconoclasts, the Buddha and baseball players comes a full year of sayings, Eastern and Western koans, haiku, parables and paradoxes, each a twist on how we see the world: "The sparrow is sorry for the peacock at the burden of his tail"--Rabindranath Tagore. Now in its ninth season.

5.0 out of 5 stars Daily centering, soul food, January 5, 2003

This review is from: Little Zen Page-A-Day Calendar 2003 (Calendar)

I've been purchasing this calendar, too for the past 4 or 5 years, and I'm hooked. I keep it on my desk at work, and every day I receive an artful reminder to let go of the illusion of control, to see the miracle in daily life, to remember the humor and delight of concrete existence. My office walls are sprinkled with "little zen calendar" pages - memorable quotes or passages from poetry. I think of this calendar as continuing therapy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice little calendar, December 6, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Little Zen Page-A-Day Calendar 2003 (Calendar)

This is a nice little calendar that gives the reader a good idea about the spirit of Zen. It is especially good for those who don't know much about Zen, as it uses many quotes from many non-Zen sources as well as Zen masters. I also recommend "Open Your Mind, Open Your Life: A Book of Eastern Wisdom" by Taro Gold which is filled with hundreds of inspirational and profound thoughts.

This review is from: Little Zen Page-A-Day Calendar 2003 (Calendar)

I have purchased this desk calendar each year since 1997, and I have enjoyed it very much each year. It almost always gives me something very meaningful to ponder during my day. You don't need to be deep into Zen culture to enjoy it; each day has a quote from a person or text, and many of those sources are not Zen masters. I most enjoy the enlightening quotes from artists, poets, and historical figures. The koans are also good for those who want something to chew on. I would give this calendar 5 stars, but since I've bought it each year, I know that the quotes are sometimes repeated year to year. But I wouldn't let that dissuade anyone from purchasing this. It's the best page-a-day I've found.
