Drawing on more than 35 years experience teaching Zen Buddhism, Zen Master Dr. Albert Low has made an inspiring collection of stories and other pieces. Each story has a challenging point to make that would be difficult to spell out in specific detail, but which has the potential to change the way the reader sees the world. Stories and inspirational texts have always been used in this way. You only has to think of the parables of Jesus, the fables of Lafontaine and Aesop, the stories about the exploits of Mullah Nassr Eddin, the stories of Jalaluddin Rumi, and the famous Mahabharata of which the Bhagavad Gita forms a part.
