American Zen

About the Book

This book chronicles, what every day looks like, when, what you're seeing as so important and urgent, just isn't. As you will discover, most things fit this definition. But if most things aren't as central as we think they are, then what is, that central? And who are we? Are we just nothing?

That void, caused when we observe our life with a detached attitude, has something in it. It is not empty. It is not terrifying either. It is not an abyss. Finding out what is in that void, is what Zen is all about. But it's practically un-American to believe that there can be something, within nothing. That's the problem with the oriental descriptions of Zen. That's why we need some, 'American' Zen.

I have this Chipmunk pal, Chipper. I met him in the garden one day. He knows, what it is all about. Not only that, but he knows how to talk about, it in a way that you will too. He also cares very deeply about love. My kind of a rodent, if you know what I mean. Come and meet him, and see Zen in action, with me.
