Publisher's Summary

“When both hands clap, a sound is produced. Listen to the sound of one hand clapping.”

This book features a collection of 101 Zen Kōans. Each is designed to challenge our preconceived notions and encourage us to think deeply about the nature of reality. From the ancient masters of Zen to modern-day philosophers, this book offers a wealth of wisdom to help us cultivate mindfulness and inner peace.

In this book, you will find:

  • One-hundred and one kōans from Zen masters with an in-depth interpretation.
  • Wisdom from the great Zen philosophers.
  • Insights to help promote mindfulness and inner peace.
  • Meditations to help you on the path to enlightenment.

By engaging with these kōans, you will be challenged to think deeply about the nature of reality, and encouraged to cultivate a greater sense of mindfulness and inner peace.

Each kōan is presented in a clear and accessible format, making it easy to understand and apply its teachings daily. The book also includes helpful insights and meditations to help us integrate the kōans into our practice and move closer to enlightenment.

Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or new to Zen, this book offers a unique and transformative journey into the heart of Zen philosophy. By grappling with these riddles and paradoxes, we are forced to confront our limitations and open our minds to the greater truth.
