Publisher's Summary

Living the Season offers creative safe passage through periods of transition, drawing on ancient and contemporary spiritual practices that are particularly useful today. The endings we experience are always the beginning of something else, says Zen Buddhist teacher, Ji Hyang Padma, who has organized the book around the cyclic change of the four seasons. 

In living connected to natural rhythms—the stillness of winter, the renewal of spring, the ripening of summer, the harvest of autumn—we touch a holistic source of healing and happiness. Practical exercises at the end of each chapter promote this state of being and bring the mind home to its innate clarity. 

Ideally suited to anyone experiencing personal change—through career, relationships, or world events—Living the Season provides a gentle and inspiring introduction to Zen practice for beginners as well as a refresher for the more advanced. 

Ji Hyang Padma has trained in and taught Zen Buddhism in Asia and North America for 25 years. She is Buddhist Chaplain at Tufts University and author of Field of Blessings: Ritual and Consciousness in the Work of Buddhist Healers.
