In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few. So begins this most beloved of all American Zen works. Seldom has such a small handful of words provided a teaching as rich as this famous opening line of Shunryu Suzuki's classic. In a single stroke, the simple sentence cuts through the pervasive tendency students have of getting so close to Zen as to completely miss what it's all about. An instant teaching in the first minutes. And that's just the beginning.

Learn how to find fulfillment and still your mind through the teachings of Buddha. This book contains a brief overview of Buddhism. Like many heroic stories, the tale of this religion starts with one man's quest. Siddhartha Gautama was no ordinary man. He was a prince who gave up riches and a life of comfort in order to pierce the veil of body, mind, and spirit. With his fearless confidence and deep compassion for others, he achieved what few before him had ever known.

Too often we store in our mind bad memories, and negative thoughts. We tell ourselves sad stories which we believe in. The only real antidote to our own sorrows consists in gaining control of our mind. The origins of sadness and happiness cannot be found outside the mind. We all have the power to bring peace and serenity to your soul. We can do it in a natural way: by breathing. When you're going to bed, after a long, long day, you need to let go your worries. Your angry moments. You need peace within yourself. So, take this book. If you haven't ever meditated, dig in. Open a space in your heart. Deeply. Feel the echoes in your soul. And feel yourself breathing, without forcing.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 29
From what we know of history, Egypt, along with Sumer, were the foundations of civilization. The Fertile Crescent, which stretched from the Nile Valley to the twin rivers in Mesopotamia, gave us our earliest glimpse of organized man. But organized how? For one, both locations gave us writing -- hieroglyphics in Egypt and cuneiform in Sumer. There is still some debate about who was first.

The narrative of the Korean War in the West, and particularly in the United States, tells the tale of a conflict between two global superpowers and competing ideologies in a far-flung corner of the globe. The reality is that the wheels of motion that drove the country to war in 1950 began turning long before American boots set foot on Korean soil. The heart of the conflict was a civil war between a population arbitrarily divided by colonization and the global geopolitics at the end of the Second World War.

It is a Good Start For Me
I've read a bunch of books on Zen and on other lineages and looked through a bunch more, and this is really the one that has spoken to me the most, by far. It's specific, wise, relevant, and somehow just usually brings things home in a way that others don't.
