Thich Nhat Hanh 2010 Wall Calendar [Calendar]

Thich Nhat Hanh (Author), Nicholas Kirsten-Honshin (Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 10, 2009

Taoist symbols, ancient imagery and the gentle reflection of nature meet and merge in Nicholas Kirsten-Honshin's artwork. The Thich Nhat Hanh 2010 wall calendar combines Honshin's graceful paintings with the words of renowned Zen master, peace activist and author of over 60 books, Thich Nhat Hanh. Nicholas Kirsten-Honshin is influenced by the sacred meditational space of the transcendental archetypal symbols of Christianity, Zen and Tibetan Buddhism as well as the shamanistic practices of the world's perennial philosophies. Thich Nhat Hanh's words, appearing courtesy of Parallax Press, have inspired many over the years to embark on a more peaceful and mindful path.

This review is from: Thich Nhat Hanh 2010 Wall Calendar (Calendar)

In the THICH NHAT HANH 2010 Calendar, the artwork is lovely and the quotations are inspiring. The rectangles for each day measure 1 1/2 inch by 1 3/4 inch, which is plenty of room to record your appointments or other notes. The solar and lunar eclipses, solstices, equinoxes, and the phases of the moon are noted with the exact hour. For example, the full moon on January 30 will occur at 1:18 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, presumably the peak time of the occurance. It even mentions that Mercury is retrograde from August 20th through September 12th.

This calendar notes some major holidays of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Baha'i, and Pagan/Wiccan.... but there are many omissions. For example, Mexican Independance Day is noted (September 16th) but Confucius' Birthday is absent. France's Bastille Day is noted (July 14th), but Chinese and Taoist holidays are not mentioned. The only Tibetan festival noted is Losar (New Year's Day) and the Dalai Lama's birthday. So this is not a comprehensive Buddhist calendar; but it has broad universal appeal.

This calendar is classy. It would suit almost any room and provide inspiration all year.

I saw this calendar today at Whole Foods, and while I'm not a fan of orange (many of the pictures are in shades of orange), the "sayings" inside are so beautiful, I came back home and immediately ordered it.

I always buy this Buddhist Monk's Calendar. I really like this particular artist because the tranquility of the art work compliments the meditative thoughts written by Thich Nhat Hanh.
