- and other Zen Koans to bring you joy -

Author: John Tarrants

Rating: 5/5

Inside Jacket Snippet: ‘… This book deftly retells fourteen traditional koans, which are partly paradoxical questions dangerous to your beliefs and partly treasure boxes of ancient wisdom. …’

Comments: Great book. Koans, commentaries, and side stories are all presented very well. It reads some-how like comfort food and not at all preachy. I picked one koan to think over. I will look definitely for more books by John Tarrants, possibly his The Light Inside the Dark: Zen, Soul, and the Spiritual Life. Even if I don’t resolve my koan within the next year I will still keep this book with the maximum 5/5 rating.
