Zen Miracles is a book that is invaluable for anyone seeking to bring a profound, yet genuinely joyous, experience to life.

Brenda Shoshanna explores the spiritual and therapeutic aspects of Zen practice in a way that is acceptable to anyone, no matter what their faith, philosophy, or religious beliefs.

The book covers topics including: how to "do" Zen practice, the meaning of koans, meditation as a way of quieting the monkey mind (the restless mind that seems not to be able to focus -- a condition of modern humanity!), dealing with loneliness, taming violence and unhealthy ambitions, letting go, and God.

Zen Miracles includes lots of prescriptive exercises that guide beginners in Zen meditation; it also includes lots of Zen stories and teachings from many masters over the centuries.
