"The simplest things are always the most precious. Tai Sheridan has shown this to be true. Concise, accessible, remarkable. Seems like everything we need to know is found in these pages."
Buddha in Blue Jeans rung true on so many levels and has helped me back on my journey, after being lost for some time now. All of Tai's books are straight to the point Zen at its best. You can pick up any of his books and flip it open to any page and find inspiration. A single page gives such a gift, that I take in my breath, and am drawn to stop and take it in. Wisdom stripped to its bare bones. |
Clear and kind, it calls me to simple things that make a big difference.
A beautiful, concise, and lucid exploration of the relationship of being, spirit, living and dying. Absolutely love this succinct, but sagacious, book. Stunningly beautiful. . . sparkling. A beautiful strong bold book...a brilliant synthesis. Astonishing insight and dedication. These readings are easy to read and a great motivator for mindful meditation. |
