Zen indeed!

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2005)

To the person who mentioned the Zen of Forrest Gump: the feather at the beginning says it all, doesn't it?! You may notice that ALL movies are zen, but the ones with the clearest message are the most successful. (The fact that there are more and more types of movie awards each year attests to this fact.) There is so much more to this if you wish to seek it; though like Forrest, you'll eventually find it right where you are! Apparently I need more lines here to get this message posted. How about some book titles (forgive me that I may not remember exact titles, authors for each, or correct spelling of names): "Everyday Mind" (a real box of chocolates, my friend!), "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind" by Shunryu Suzuki, "An Introduction to Zen Buddhism" by D.T. Suzuki, "Way of the Peaceful Warrior" by Dan Millman (for the athletes out there), anything by Thich Nhat Hahn. Dogen is pretty good, though it may be murky at first. Skip the Hakuin until you're ready. He's pure poison! You can find many more for yourself!
