Scott West’s Reviews > The Way of Zen > Status Update

Tenets espoused of staying still and being one with the world, letting everything flow and naturally balance itself. Be one with your breath and life to achieve a state of flow and happiness. Eschewing simultaneously Western pro activity of needing to change the world and intensifying by indoctrination with further and further religious ideas. Simplicity and being in a natural state is bliss. Fascinating east ideas!

Insightful set of musings on zen with its various intricacies. I love the parts around how the sole can be unsettled causing you to not fall asleep properly and the different aphorisms to represent order in the universe. The philosophical discussion at times is too deep for me being a layman. Moderately interesting read so far, though not wonderful.
