ISBN: 9780847818532.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen is a tiger not a tiger?\nWhen is a mountain more than a mountain?\nWhat is the sound of one hand clapping?\n\nThe stories of this collection come from the Zen Buddhist tradition-- from tales told by the Buddha himself to anecdotes from the lives of the Zen masters of China and Japan who helped pass on the Buddhas teachings. These stories reflect the wisdom, directness, and spontaneity of which Zen is known.\n\nZen stories delight as they challenge, enchant as they point towards a different way of seeing things. In the simple language of stories passed down over hundreds of years, this collection can point us toward our own natural Mind of wisdom, insight, peace, and compassion. They help us see past our seeming differences into what is the same for all of us.\n\nRafe Martin, a student of Zen for over 25 years, introduces these tales, providing both background and insight into the collection. Junko Morimotos beautiful illustrations reflect the tranquility, wit, and power of these stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rizzoli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45118719819829,"sku":"ByrdShop_0847818535","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780847818532_976649ea-bb30-4ac7-9cc0-2210800d3925.jpg?v=1781346532","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/one-hand-clapping-zen-stories-for-all-ages-9780847818532","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
