Buddhist Monk Wisdom - Barry Phillips - Bog

This book is a collection of my favourite short stories, drawn fromBuddhist and Zen Buddhist wisdom. Over the years they have helpedme at different times in my life. I trust that you will find them both meaningful and inspirational.I love to read them whenever I'm seeking answers in my own life. I lovehow they don't preach. They don't give you answers. Some barely evenmake sense. Many are serious but at the same time profound. Some willmake you laugh, and they will all make you think. This is their teaching.They teach that often what we need is not more information, moreguidance, and more practical advice about what to do. What we need isto slow down and come to appreciate and enjoy the smaller, seeminglyinsignificant things in life.So when you read these short stories, be aware of the message, not themessenger. Some of the stories here are accompanied by an invitationto pause, reflect, and to allow your own wisdom and understanding toawaken. These moments of going beyond the words and coming home topresence are the gateway to all true healing and freedom.
