Reepah Gud Wan was the Chinese Buddhist monk who founded Zen more than a millenium ago. The recent discovery of a rice paper scroll in Taiwan sheds new light on the true origins of Zen--and introduces us to the teachings of Reepah Gud Wan, as recorded by a disciple, who in fact was Reepah's brother.

About the Author
No one knows much about Reepah Gud Wan, who lived before the 10th century in China and Japan, except that he was a legitimate Buddhist monk who tired of the inability of his students to grasp the essence of his teaching. In order to shake them up, he introduced the Zen of Farting, expecting his students to see the joke, laugh at it, and then understand his Buddhist teachings better. Unfortunately, they failed to get the joke--and zen was the result.

Oh, woe is me!,
By Reading Dervish (Fall Creek, WI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zen of Farting (Paperback)
When I was wee, I never imagined that I'd become not a fart connoisseur, but a connoisseur and consumer of fart books. And this fart book is one of my faves. I also quite like "Walter the Farting Dog" and "It All Began With a Bean."

This book is amazing. I got it for a present for my dad and he loves it. It was in great condition and didn't smell too bad either.
