The Monk and The Butterfly - 60 Beautiful Stories of Zen: Embracing Mindfulness, Inner Peace, and Personal Growth, A Journey Through Change and ... Change (The Zen Path: Mindful Living Series)

The Monk and the Butterfly is a beautiful collection of short stories that gently illustrate various Zen practices. Each story carries a deep teaching, yet is told in such a simple, engaging way that it sticks with you. I loved the calm, reflective tone and the meaningful lessons woven throughout. A truly wonderful read for anyone interested in mindfulness or spiritual growth.

This is a truly beautiful book full of thought provoking and inspirational words told in easy-to-follow stories that just can't help but motivate you to be a better person. You come away from reading this book having a real feeling of your purpose in the world and your part in the web of life that connects us all. I found this to be the perfect book to set me on the right path each day as I read a story-a-day for my morning meditative reading.Thank you for these wise words which I will read again and again with joy.

Lovely short stories to help you slow down, think a little more, and to live in the moment. Each chapter tells a story with a deeper meaning which you can relate to in this fast moving world. This book leaves you feeling happy and positive, and will help you see many stressful situations in a different light. Mindfulness at its best. At the end of the book, I love the fact the author helps you continue to explore the wisdom of Zen with a link to a free eBook, to help you apply mindfulness daily and to continue with the Zen way of living.

as with any book the subject is going to be unique to the person reading it & it will depend on what you want out of a book.the book offers short stories of change, peace, zen, enlightenment, etc, with small inserts of zen art.the writing is easy to understand,it doesn't go too deep but the messages are clear to understand in each story.I have since read another of the authors books, and the same writing can be said of both.the stories are designed to make you think & question for yourself, not to give you answers.

Absolutely fantastic book and great story 💕 love it

Reading one of these stories every morning before breakfast is a very good way to start the day.

Beautiful book and made a great present for my friend too.

It's so easy to get knowledge on slowing down I felt so calm just reading it......it's written with great compassion and shows there are easier ways to live your life.......without joining a monastery. I've been waiting for a book like this and I'm buying his next book tooThankyou kai t. Murano
