The Monk and The Butterfly - 60 Beautiful Stories of Zen: Embracing Mindfulness, Inner Peace, and Personal Growth, A Journey Through Change and Letting Go: Stories of Zen and the Art of Change

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.

One of the clearest books on the practice and application of Zen I have read.A must read for anyone wanting an good explanation of Zen practice and philosophy

This book is full of short, calming stories that teach mindfulness and finding peace in everyday life. The lessons from the monk’s journey are simple but meaningful, and they made me think about slowing down and letting go. Some stories felt a little repetitive, but overall, it’s great for anyone looking for inspiration and a sense of calm in their daily life.

Absolutely fantastic book and great story 💕 love it

Loved this book. Bought another by the same author

I am usually racing ahead in my reading of books , this book helped me to slow down , breathe in the lovely sensitive words and calm me and help me realise that there is love in the world and peace in people that is freely given .

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
