Within The Eyes Of Buddha: 100 Days Of Zen Inspired Poetry - Aaron Joy - Bog

This is a collection of 100 poems covering the first 100 days of Zen meditation practice in the confines of a countryside Buddhist temple.

These are not poems of enlightenment and peace or worldly observations. These are poems of struggle and discomfort. These are not poems of book learning and priestly discussions, but of simple observations sitting in meditation, eating in silence and cleaning the hallways.

These are poems of celebration of a new world that any Buddhist practitioner will enjoy reading.

Also, throughout the book are photos of Buddhist and Shinto temples in Japan. Neither the poems or photos are previously published.
