Zen 2012 Calendar (Page a Day Calendar)

 (14 customer reviews)

Have been ordering it for several years now. Quotes are geared to stimulate non-dual thinking perception, creating an AHA! effect. Sometimes they work on you, sometimes they don't but that is usually an indication of one's own state of mind, rather than the quote. Some of them are quite startling in their depth like: "Nothing, like something, happens anywhere," but then again you have to be into that way of thinking or non-thinking. Highly recommended for those who understand that YES/NO is also an answer.

I've been buying this calendar for a few years, and each year I give it to a few more people as gifts. You don't have to be a student of Zen to love it, just interested in getting your head clear. (I graduated up to this from the "Meditations for Women Who Do Too Much" calendar.) Some of the quotes I get, some I don't. But many of them are so good I have pages from years past stuffed like little surprises to discover later in drawers and notebooks. There's usually one on the fridge. 2005's October 23 "The firefly/gives light/to its pursuer" has had a good run on the window over my computer monitor. It's fun. It's stimulating. I highly recommend it.

I like this calendar. It is what it is, and no more. No less, indeed, but no more.

I also appreciate the irony of it helping me keep track of the date while reminding me that time is an illusion and all is one.

Excellent.
