Have been ordering it for several years now. Quotes are geared to stimulate non-dual thinking perception, creating an AHA! effect. Sometimes they work on you, sometimes they don't but that is usually an indication of one's own state of mind, rather than the quote. Some of them are quite startling in their depth like: "Nothing, like something, happens anywhere," but then again you have to be into that way of thinking or non-thinking. Highly recommended for those who understand that YES/NO is also an answer.

I've been buying this calendar for a few years, and each year I give it to a few more people as gifts. You don't have to be a student of Zen to love it, just interested in getting your head clear. (I graduated up to this from the "Meditations for Women Who Do Too Much" calendar.) Some of the quotes I get, some I don't. But many of them are so good I have pages from years past stuffed like little surprises to discover later in drawers and notebooks. There's usually one on the fridge. 2005's October 23 "The firefly/gives light/to its pursuer" has had a good run on the window over my computer monitor. It's fun. It's stimulating. I highly recommend it.

I like this calendar. It is what it is, and no more. No less, indeed, but no more.

I also appreciate the irony of it helping me keep track of the date while reminding me that time is an illusion and all is one.

Excellent.

Every one in the office likes it. Amazing to see westerners with taoist quotes. My favorite daily calendar.

I had the 2005 edition of this calendar and enjoyed it so much. I'm ordering my 2006 version now.

I've had many page-a-day calendars that I could not be bothered to change the day for months. With this one, I look forward to the daily inspiration. I still may go days or even weeks at a time without switching days, but when I do I take it as a sign that I need to slow down, de-stress and take better care of myself since reading the daily nuggets of wisdom, insight, clarity and inspiration that this calendar provides have become part of a balanced daily ritual for me.

Best to you all in 2006!!!

THIS PRODUCT NEVER CHANGERS I BUY THIS EVERY YEAR FOR MY SON WHO IS A PRACTICING BUDDHIST AS HE USERS THIS DAILY DURING THE YEAR PS,, YES THIS IS GOOD AND I WILL BUY AGAIN NEXT YEAR

I've been getting this calendar since 1998 and it's always great. Features quotes from people as diverse as the Buddha, Herny Miller, and Yogi Berra. Gives you something to think about every day.

I enjoy the simplicity of this calendar. It is straightforward, visually clean and easy to use. In my very complicated line of work and endless array of details to track, I appreciate the reminders that connect me to the bigger picture. I look forward to ripping off that day's page every night to see what the next day's quote will be. It is a wonderful way to bring a little Zen and clarity into my work day.

This calendar is so thought provoking with its seemly simple ideas that, more often than not, become quite profound by the end of the day.

I purchased this without looking at the product dimensions and when it arrived I realized it was bigger than your usual daily calendar. The pages look cheap and they are printed in only black and white.
