Review: Wisdom for our day - Great little book filled with wisdom. Timely in our current culture.
Review: A slow contemplative read, inspired by Zen tradition for the Catholic, or Orthodox person - Those giving this book a bad review because it ‘lacks length’ don’t seem to grasp its true purpose. This collection was compiled by a Japanese man with a deep Zen background. You’re meant to read each passage slowly and thoughtfully, pausing to reflect on it deeply. Accompanying every saying are traditional Japanese ink paintings, designed to help you dig deeper into your relationship with the quote, phrase, or story. Of course it’s not phenomenally long in terms of quotation count—he carefully chose only the very best ones that truly touched his heart and inspired him to add his art. And he did an outstanding job. This book changed my life, especially when it comes to ego, judgment, charity, and giving. It’s a phenomenal work. Now, with my new Catholic roots providing strong soil to grow in, it continues to bear fruit in beautiful ways.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A gem of a book
*by C***N on June 28, 2016*

This is a gem of a book. Just opening it and letting my eyes move across the illustrations brings peace. The sayings cover the whole of human experience and prove that wisdom and a good sense of humor is not a modern phenomenon.
