Every morning, open your eyes and mind anew. Based on the bestselling book, the Zen Calendar features a daily koan, quote, parable, sutra, or poem filled with surprise, paradox, and infinite wisdom in very few words. The Zen of artists: "The simplest things give me ideas" (Joan Miró). The Zen of saints: "The most divine knowledge of God is that which is known by not knowing" (St. Denis). The Zen of sages: "The mind, the Buddha, living things—these are not three different things" (Seng-ts'an). And the Buddha himself: "Stop, stop. Do not speak. The ultimate truth is not even to think."

All of them make you think. They were all new and unique to me, so don't worry about seeing old quotes that you're tired of. Great calendar!
