Description
If, as the I Ching says, thoughts are spirits, then this collection of
highly distilled thoughts from history's greatest philosophers and
religious figures will certainly put you in good spirits. Laurence Boldt
has long made a practice of applying Zen principles to everyday life. Here
he applies wisdom from all corners of the world to twenty-five aspects, or
qualities, associated with the Zen tradition. The result is a soup of the
most hearty and wholesome kind, well-seasoned with age, and filled with
delicious surprises: "Where your talents and the needs of the world cross,
thence lies your vocation." —Aristotle "A man with outward courage dares to
die: A man with inward courage dares to live." —Lao Tzu You'll also find
Flip Wilson on living in the moment; Will Rogers on the beginner's mind;
Helen Keller on courage; Chekhov on self-confidence; Colette on joy. Each
chapter includes an entertaining and informative essay that explains the
principle and its application to Zen wisdom. The rest is up to you. Read it
in one gulp or savor each morsel. Either way, Zen Soup is sure to whet your
spiritual appetite as it nourishes your soul.
