''In Japan we have an expression, ''Float like Cloud, Flow like Water''. Its meaning is: to live free and unconstrained''

In this short introduction to Zen Buddhism, a practising Japanese monk shares the many lessons he has learned from life inside a temple.

With charm and humour, he guides us through everything from meditation to tea-drinking ceremonies, the meaning of koans to preparing Zen food. Accompanied by the author's own illustrations, this book invites you to change your perception through the wisdom of monastic life.
