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.
