Comics communicate the Zen spirit perfectly. Laughter deflates pretension and a good rap on the head sometimes transcends so-called logic. In the words of Zen, "Nothing is left for you but to laugh!"

Another Way to Experience Zen,
By simkn (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zen Comics (Paperback)
If you are looking for fun, bite-sized lessons in Zen Buddhism that will leave you pondering, this is an excellent source. I would recommend it both as an introduction -- to get the newcomer thinking about Zen concepts -- as well as entertainment for an experienced Zen practitioner. The lessons are usually very subtle, but then Zen itself is a subtle art. By no means does this book delve deeply into Zen concepts. But, what better explanation of Zen simplicity than a little book of simple comics such as this?

Zen to carry with you in an empty hand,
By
This review is from: Zen Comics (Paperback)
This is a great little collection of zen comics.Most of the stories involve the old monk and his #1 disciple learning about what zen means. The stories last only a few panels, are often humerous, and almost always end with some enlightening piece of advice for the moment. Salajan's art is very simple and reminiscent of japanese calligraphy. The style complements the subject very well. I can't think of a better way to illustrate zen in a comic book form. I recomend this little treasure highly.

Fun, a real delite,
By Druce MacFarlane (Half Moon Bay, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zen Comics (Paperback)
This book is a great into to Zen, and Budhism itself, transfering wisdom with humor. A picture is worth a thousand words, a laugh a thousand pages.
