Immovable Awareness: The Intimate Practice of Zen - Paperback

by Ben Howard (Author)

Zen meditation releases us from habitual patterns of thought and feeling, aligns our minds with things as they are, and awakens our innate compassionate wisdom. In these fifty elegant essays, whose subjects range from building a bird feeder to the birth of a grandchild to the healing presence of "immovable awareness," Ben Howard explores the capacity of Zen practice to deepen, stabilize, and ennoble our daily lives.
