5 Star Reviews
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. This little book rung true on so many levels and has helped me back on my journey, after being lost for some time now. These readings are easy to read and a great motivator for mindful meditation. |
A Few Online Reviews
Buddha in Blue Jeans
If there was a higher rating to grant this small taste of beauty and reality, I would grant it. So simple and delicious, I fly into its brief message and found enough yet endless knowledge. Just let go of all the stories and beliefs for a moment, then let go again and again.
This is one of the most basic yet insightful books I have read on buddhism to date. While not proving a history on the practice it breaks down the fundamental actions required to follow the eightfold path. Learning to master the art of sitting in silence is, in my opinion one of the most challenging aspects of the practice. In its simplest terms, learning to just be, this is where the majority struggle. This book gives simple examples and guides the reader through becoming present by focusing on the breath.
Zen Prayers For Repairing Your Life
This is a very accessible and immediately essential book, filled with prayers that anyone - regardless of their own faith or personal beliefs - can benefit from. There is literally a prayer for every situation and circumstance one will encounter, and some that can open us to a mindful way to respond to new experiences, too. No matter what we may 'assume' we will know about our feelings and responses, there are always going to be challenging events for which we feel unprepared, and this lovely book is a wonderful tool and resource for such moments.
Relax You're Going to Die
Don't be put off by the price (or lack of one) or the small number of pages. This poetic meditation on death is a wonderful gem. I've read most of Tai Sheridan's books, and they are all short and to-the-point. This book is no different. I've actually memorized the title poem and use it as a mediation. What do you have to lose? The price is right, so download this book and read it slowly, several times. You can't go wrong.
