Book Description
There's no doubt cats are a meaningful feature of Japanese life: from folklore to fashion, they've left a giant paw print on the culture. It's believed that felines first appeared in Japan with the arrival of Buddhism via China in around 552, when their main role was to stop vermin from damaging scriptures. But what can we learn from these philosophical felines? Surely they can teach us a thing or two, through the wisdom gleaned over the centuries residing in ancient temples and co-existing with artists, courtesans, monks and writers. The Zen of Cat is interwoven with stories and facts about cats, Japan and Zen philosophy. Carla Francis includes discussions with Japanese cat lovers, and invites reflection and 'mindful mewsings' on life through an A-Z of Japanese words to inspire. Cats are unburdened by worry. They maintain an enviable equilibrium. Maybe we can too?

Book Description
"The Zen of Writing" Author Alan O’Hashi is walking proof that perfection and organization are highly overrated. His parents and grandparents were all artists and applied a zen approach to nurturing their work, which influenced him as a creative entrepreneur. Rather than rigid plans and goals, they all were very contemplative and relied more on intuition and accepted life how it happened with no judgment. The story is partly a DIY personal growth book about how the author overcame self-doubt and perfection as a “Model Minority." He’s now more confident, no longer obsessed with perfection, and has become a prolific writer. The other part is a memoir about how the importance of owning life experiences and not being afraid to write about those. His writing is now much more emotional and no longer superficial. “All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.” is what Ernest Hemingway says about the essence of good storytelling. This book is for anyone who is a writer of organized words, whether they are fiction, nonfiction, poetry, work memos, grant applications, academic papers, or love letters. Read this book if you’re a professional writer, a novelist just starting out, or a screenwriter with a half-done script lost deep in the bowels of a computer hard drive. Are you a writer who wonders how to get over self-doubt, kick your obsession with perfection, and for whatever reason, can’t quite finish your writing project? This book provides insight and a few tips through the author’s experiences about becoming more confident in your ability to balance perfection and accuracy that results in a higher likelihood of finishing your work. Author Alan O’Hashi relates how his lessons from life were significant influences that resulted in his first book pitch based on a typed-up piece of paper in June. He signed a contract and finished an 80,000-word manuscript five months later. Alan is a native of Cheyenne, Wyoming, where he began writing as a 12-year-old reporter for his junior high school newspaper, “The Tumbleweed.” He relates his growth as a writer surviving a 1,000-year flood, an emergency landing of an airplane with a fire on board, two job layoffs after 9/11, and getting up from his death bed.

Book Description
"When a Zen master puts brush to paper, the resulting image is an expression of the quality of his or her mind. It is thus a teaching, intended to compassionately stop us in our tracks and to compel us to consider ultimate truth. Here, forty masterpieces of painting and calligraphy by renowned masters such as Hakuin Ekaku (1685–1768) and Gibon Sengai (1750–1837) are reproduced along with commentary that illuminates both the art and its teaching. The authors’ essays provide an excellent introduction to both the aesthetic and didactic aspects of this art that can be profound, perplexing, serious, humorous, and breathtakingly beautiful—often all within the same simple piece."--Publisher description.

Book Description
The area of Buddhist monasticism has long attracted the interest of Buddhist studies scholars and historians, but the interpretation of the nature and function of monasteries across diverse cultures and vast historical periods remains a focus for debate. This book provides a multifaceted discussion of religious, social, cultural, artistic, and political functions of Buddhist monasteries in medieval China and Japan. With contributions from leading scholars in the field, this volume explores the multiplicity of the institutions that make up "the Buddhist monastery." Drawing on new research and on previous studies hitherto not widely available in English, the chapters cover key issues such as the relationship between monastics and lay society, the meaning of monastic vows, how specific institutions functioned, and the differences between urban and regional monasteries. Collectively, the book demonstrates that medieval monasteries in East Asia were much more than merely residences for monks who, cut off from the dust and din of society and all its entrapments, collectively pursued an ideal cenobitic lifestyle. Buddhist Monasticism in East Asia is a timely contribution to the ongoing attempts to understand a central facet of Buddhist religious practice, and will be a significant work for academics and students in the fields of Buddhist Studies, Asian Studies, and East Asian Religions.
