Book Description

Publication Date: July 10, 2008

The mind of Zen Buddhism is revealed through authentic sacred art and profoundly simple wisdom. Zenga art, Zen-inspired brushstroke paintings, surprises and confounds our expectations. Although created by 17th and 18th century monks who were amateur painters, they have a startlingly modern appeal. The Gitter-Yelen collection of Zenga paintings is widely regarded as one of the preeminent collections in the West. Each month, the Zen Mind 2009 wall calendar features a Zenga masterwork paired with quotes from Not Always So by Shunryu Suzuki (1905-1971). Suzuki-roshi was considered one of the most influential Zen teachers of his time and was a direct spiritual descendent of the 13th century Zen master, Dogen.

Each year I look forward to purchasing this wall calendar. I have it right in my home office, where much of my contemplation (life/work) is done. I no longer have to choose a wall calendar every year...... this is THE ONE !

This review is from: Zen Mind 2009 Wall Calendar (Calendar)

I am a fan of Shunryu Suzuki's writing, and the Asian artwork/calligraphy on the calendar is a beautiful accompaniment. I put the calendar in my office, where I can see it from my computer; it reminds me to breathe.
