Here is a little tale from the book:
Zen Buddhism is said to have originated with a monk named Bodhidharma. He transmitted his teachings to a disciple named Huike.
One time, Huike shared his troubles with Bodhidharma. ¡®My mind is always filled with anxiety. Please help me to quieten it.¡¯
Bodhidharma replied, ¡®I will calm these anxieties for you. But first, will you bring them to me? If you can set them before me and say, ¡°These are the anxieties that burden me,¡± I will be sure to calm them for you.¡¯
Hearing this, Huike realized something for the first time. ¡®Anxiety¡¯ was a thing within his mind. In reality, it was intangible.
His fears were intangible, and yet he clung to them. He recognized the futility in this.
There is no need to be troubled by things that have not yet happened. Think only about what is happening right now.
Almost all anxieties are intangible. They are the invention of your own mind.

The author is a Zen Buddhist (head) priest, a Zen garden designer, lecturer, and environmental design professor at an art school. These are 100 lessons for happiness and calm, put in four parts. Some parts are clearly connected and there is some repetition, but it doesn¡¯t really disturb the flow. One gets among other things a light introduction to Zen, and I learned for instance why Zen paintings are done only in black ink (chapter 65), and why there¡¯s that using of koans (chapter 87). The last chapter can act also as the conclusion chapter. The version that I review here had beautiful and colorful paintings that really fit well among the chapters.
Subjects including eating, not-thinking meditations, Zen gardens and meditations, on cleaning and owning less, breathing style, appreciating nature, cultivating a right attitude and being positive, and so on. I do think that some of this writing has been done with Japanese audience in mind, but it easy to apply even if you¡¯re not. Of course, not all chapters may feel like you can apply them to your life, but even so I feel that most would. The chapters are short, so one could easily use this book for daily-chapter reading.
Even after having read some books on Zen already I feel I got something out of this, and the book was quick to read. Afterwards I had the feeling that this would belong among my ¡®essentials¡¯ books, even when not a ¡®top ten¡¯ kind of book ¨C very rereadable. And the illustrations made things even better. A lot to think about, a lot to use in one¡¯s life to improve it.

A nice reminder, but it's pretty basic and very repitious. I'm not sure if I took something new from this.

This was the best time ever to read this book. I would listed to it on audio every time my mind got wrapped up with worry and anxiety which lately, has been often! Here are a few points that I took away but honestly, I could probably listen to this book on repeat for the next several weeks as a form of therapy. "You decide that you want to do something, pursue it as if your life depends on it." "Live how you want to die." Just delicious bite size pieces of Japanese wisdom. Loved it!

A szerz? zen kerttervez?, b¨¢r szerintem ink¨¢bb zenkert-tervez?, ¨¦s itt meg is ¨¦rkezt¨¹nk a probl¨¦m¨¢hoz. A ford¨ªt¨¢s sokszor d?c?g, tele van a telefonom lef¨¦nyk¨¦pezett wtf-oldalakkal. Van, hogy semmi ¨¦rtelme, van, hogy csak nagyon fura:
"?gy van ez a k?t¨¦lugr¨¢s vagy a hull¨¢mvas¨²t eset¨¦ben is: a legf¨¦lelmetesebb nem az, amikor csin¨¢ljuk, hanem az azt megel?z? pillanat." Kezeket fel, ki tudja, mi az a k?t¨¦lugr¨¢s? Aki haszn¨¢lja is ezt a kifejez¨¦st, tegye fel a m¨¢sik kez¨¦t is! Arr¨®l nem is besz¨¦lve, hogy itt arr¨®l van sz¨®, hogy a szorong¨¢sodr¨®l csak te tehetsz, ¨²gyhogy mi lenne, ha mondjuk nem csin¨¢ln¨¢d. ("Valld be: ugye te hinted el szorong¨¢sod magvait?"

"P¨¦ld¨¢ul ha elhat¨¢rozod, hogy boldog akarsz lenni, sz¨¹ks¨¦ged van magad k?r¨¹l emberekre, akik szint¨¦n boldogok. ?gy seg¨ªthet saj¨¢t boldogs¨¢god el?id¨¦z¨¦s¨¦ben az, ha szolg¨¢lsz m¨¢sokat." Sz¨®val bementem a boldog emberek k?z¨¦, aki nem el¨¦g boldog, azt elker¨¹l?m, ¨¦s ezzel m¨¢sokat szolg¨¢lok? ?rtem, hogy mit akart mondani, de nem azt mondta. Az els? mondatb¨®l k¨¹l?n?sen ord¨ªt az eredeti.
"A harag a legkisebb dologt¨®l felb?sz¨ªt minket, ¨¦s amikor csak ad¨®dik, m¨¢sokon vezetj¨¹k le. A tudatlans¨¢g az ostobas¨¢g ¨¢llapota: nem haszn¨¢ljuk sem a j¨®zan esz¨¹nket, sem ismereteinket, ¨¦s hi¨¢nyos a tanults¨¢gunk - val¨®j¨¢ban azonban saj¨¢t, val¨®di Buddha-term¨¦szet¨¹nket nem ¨¦rtj¨¹k." Nem, ¨¦n ezeket a mondatokat nem ¨¦rtem. Dologt¨®l? Mi ad¨®dik? A micsoda hi¨¢nyos? ?s hogy ker¨¹lt ide ez az ellentmond¨¢s a v¨¦g¨¦re, ki ¨¢ll¨ªtott m¨¢st el?tte? ?s hol? Az oldal alj¨¢n m¨¦g az is kider¨¹l, hogy "[e]z megakad¨¢lyozhatja, hogy az ¨¢fium a hatalm¨¢ba ker¨ªtsen." Az.
"A gy?l?let ¨¦s a szeretet val¨®j¨¢ban egy ¨¦s ugyanaz. Akkor milyen az igazi term¨¦szet¨¹k? R?viden: a saj¨¢t tudatod." Hm? Az nekem ett?l olyan zavarban van, hogy ink¨¢bb nem k¨¦rdezn¨¦m semmir?l. Ez valami m¨¢sik k¨¦rd¨¦sre volt a v¨¢lasz? Mert a "milyen?"-re tuti nem.
"A sabi egyben homonima is, ami patin¨¢t vagy rozsd¨¢t jelent [...]" M¨¢r hogy a homonima? Nem, az azt jelenti, hogy azonos alak¨² szavak, de az el?bb ismertetett jelent¨¦sen k¨ªv¨¹l m¨¦g van neki emez is.
Nagyon k¨¦sz¨¹lt¨¦l valamire (vizsg¨¢ra, prezent¨¢ci¨®ra), ¨¦s k?zvetlen el?tte marh¨¢ra izgulsz: "Ha ez t?rt¨¦nik, vizsg¨¢ld meg, mi rejlik a szorong¨¢s h¨¢tter¨¦ben. ?gy gondolom, azt fogod l¨¢tni, hogy az elbizakodotts¨¢g." ?hm... nem. Akkor nem par¨¢zn¨¦k, ugye. Itt vajon mi lehetett eredetileg?
Van benne n¨¦mi toxikus pozitivit¨¢s is, ahogy m¨¢r fentebb is kider¨¹lt. Az¨¦rt a minden nap j¨® nap hozz¨¢¨¢ll¨¢s nem eg¨¦szs¨¦ges, azt gondolom. Vannak igaz¨¢n sz.r napok, hadd ne tapsikoljunk, hogy egyszeri ¨¦s megism¨¦telhetetlen nap, ha ¨¦pp valami trag¨¦dia ¨¦r benn¨¹nket. P¨¦ld¨¢ul.
Ami m¨¦g biztosan ¨²gy van az eredetiben is, az p¨¦ld¨¢ul a sok ism¨¦tl¨¦s; valahogy ki kellett h¨²zni 100-ra a tan¨¢csok sz¨¢m¨¢t. Pedig tal¨¢n jobban passzolt volna a szeml¨¦lethez, ha csak 1-1 mondatot ¨ªrnak, nem kell sz¨¢z bejegyz¨¦s t¨²lmagyar¨¢z¨¢ssal ¨¦s ism¨¦tl¨¦sekkel. Megval¨®sulhatott volna ugyanilyen sz¨¦p t¨¢rgyk¨¦nt, amelyben a szavak is r¨¦szei a harm¨®nia megteremt¨¦s¨¦nek, nem pedig ellene dolgoznak.
"?gy van ez a k?t¨¦lugr¨¢s vagy a hull¨¢mvas¨²t eset¨¦ben is: a legf¨¦lelmetesebb nem az, amikor csin¨¢ljuk, hanem az azt megel?z? pillanat." Kezeket fel, ki tudja, mi az a k?t¨¦lugr¨¢s? Aki haszn¨¢lja is ezt a kifejez¨¦st, tegye fel a m¨¢sik kez¨¦t is! Arr¨®l nem is besz¨¦lve, hogy itt arr¨®l van sz¨®, hogy a szorong¨¢sodr¨®l csak te tehetsz, ¨²gyhogy mi lenne, ha mondjuk nem csin¨¢ln¨¢d. ("Valld be: ugye te hinted el szorong¨¢sod magvait?" Any¨¢d.) A depresszi¨®s meg gondolom, szedje ?ssze mag¨¢t.

Really good book with 100 recommendations about how to live our lives. Recommended.
August 10, 2024
No es un libro para m¨ª.
El autor es un monje budista y nos adentra a su manera de vivir y pensar a trav¨¦s de varios consejos, utilizando elementos como: los jardines zen, meditar y conceptos y tradiciones japonesas.
Aunque haya consejos que s¨ª que los vea interesantes o quiz¨¢s los aplique, hay muchos que todos nosotros ya conocemos y algunos que los veo innecesarios.
A pesar de le¨¦rmelo con calma, se me ha hecho pesada su lectura. La parte que m¨¢s me ha gustado es cuando habla brevemente de su padre.
En definitiva, no creo que vuelva a le¨¦rmelo.

OK, this is a quick read, but it's not meant to be. People will squall about its simplicity, but dear hearts, that's the point!

Be Kind, and Un-wind
Shunmy¨ Masuno's terse, and straight to the point book is densely packed with beginner level lessons (or more like power points) on the simple living of a Zen lifestyle. I found some talking points as real solutions to life's stressful problems while others seemed far too much into the Monk lifestyle (walking barefoot in the snow, lining your shoes, holding hands together to prevent angry inclinations, etc) for my liking as a non-monk. I would say there is enough here to chew on for the average reader, but be wary of expectations.

Short and inspiring. Written by Shunmyo Masuno, a Zen Buddhist monk based in Yokohama, also renowned as a designer of Zen gardens. Each chapter is one short page that gives mostly practical advice about applying Buddhist principles to everyday life. It's a translation from a Japanese original, and is a window into Japanese culture as well as Zen thinking. Some of the chapters are very straightforward and easy to relate to. Others are more enigmatic or even contradictory, which adds some spice to the mix, I would say.
I can think of some ways to improve this book, particularly the illustrations and presentation. I understand there is an attempt to keep the design sparse, with a simple line drawing by Harriet Lee-Merrion at the start of each chapter. These are OK, but I would do more. I would at least have the Japanese kanji for each chapter name. As a beginning student of Japanese, I would enjoy seeing the kanji for things like "savor the morning air", "feel instead of think", etc.
If the author is going to explicitly reference Japanese kanji characters, I would actually show those characters. For example, in chapter 73, he talks about the concept of "ishiki" or mental consciousness, and mentions a contrast between the first character "i" and the second character "shiki". But I missed actually seeing those characters. This happens in a couple of other places.
Similarly, in chapter 8 he mentions "the indescribable intensity in the calligraphy of the Zen monk Ikkyu." I suppose a Japanese reader knows what this calligraphy looks like, but a Western reader could really use an illustration.
On the whole I think much of the interest and beauty in this book comes not only from the Zen principles, but from the way these principles are woven and integrated into the beautiful and ancient culture of Japan. I could imagine it being fleshed out into a much larger, more graphically appealing format.
As is, it's an interesting and inspiring little book which I enjoyed reading in a single evening.

Let me pick some nits first.
1. A lot of the prescriptions in this book are repetitive, and are found again and again in several places. The one about clearing or emptying your mind, for instance. The "100" in the "100 ways..." then is, as Carlin would put it, a purely marketing decision.
2. I find something easier to learn or remember if it fits neatly in a framework that follows the principle. And, well, yes, that was missing. Everything was all over the place, and the apportioning of the content into the different parts did not make any logical sense to me.
After all, this book is about Zen. It is hard to teach something so abstract. There is, obviously, no clear formula or a magic principle, or a set of them. The book does list a lot of good things that are, in my opinion, worth practising everyday, and things we have forgotten or take for granted. Like meditation, or appreciation for nature, or keeping your calm in a tough situation. Yes, this does sound like commonsense wisdom, but how many of us actually practice these things? The path to a good and peaceful life is well-lit, but we are blind.
