A Little Bit Of title providing a history and overview of Zen philosophy, including techniques for adding it to daily practice.

This entry in the popular Little Bit of series introduces the ancient practice of Zen Buddhism. What is Zen? It’s an ancient spiritual system rooted in Buddhism that began in China and spread throughout Asia, finally reaching the West. It encompasses meditation, mindfulness, and calming the mind—exactly what so many of us need and crave in this busy, stressful world. A Little Bit of Zen is the perfect, accessible introduction for newcomers, providing a history, overview, and exercises to use in their own daily practice, and covering everything from Zen literature to the ritual chants and bows.
