Product Description
Enlightenment is within reach -- 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
If you're searching for revelation and contentment, look no further than a handshake, a cup of coffee -- even your laundry pile. The most mundane details of life contain zen's profound truths, if you're of the mind to look for them.
By awakening to and embracing the zen in your life, you'll listen, watch, eat, work, laugh, sleep, and breathe your way to truth -- every moment of every day.

Delightful, deceptively simple walk through a day, highlighting events and times to practice. Like all great Zen writing, Sudo communicates with grace and gentle humour. You won't find 'the answer' in the book (Sudo is the first to recognise that in the text itself) but he gives plenty of places to go look. A great bedside companion, to plant a seed for tomorrow.

perfect little book
26 Aug 2002
Format:Paperback
A perfect little book about zen written in such a simple way as to teach you without teaching and he makes everyday objects vessels of Zen. It changes the way you look at these things. Sudo takes things that appear in our day such as "bed" "car" "tv" and devotes one or two pages to them, showing for example how watching tv is zen...great little illustrations by Bo Hok Cline in the Japanese style of the objects on each page as well. Sudo could write a zen encyclopedia, devoting a paragraph to every object around us, that would be cool :)

deceptively simple
20 Sep 2004
Format:Paperback
On first examination this book seems a little light weight and a bit pithy.
Nevertheless,over the next few days I found myself thinking about some of the things mentioned, like Zen Commute. I started to reflect on what was the underlying force that was driving evrything everywhere. Where are we all going and what is driving us?
There is some profound insight here if you are willing to put in the thought.
If you just read without thinking it would appear very light weight. But isn't that Zen in itself, the very simple things around you can lead to the greatest insight if you can find a way in.
A beautiful waste of time.

Worth reading
14 May 2002
Format:Paperback
...This book is more than a little bit "fluffy." Perhaps a problem with stating basic profound truths that they are all pretty obvious; "Things are what they are." Depending on your perspective, that's either deep or shallow.
Still, Zen 24/7 provides perspectives on zen in our daily lives, and can serve as a good reminder to pay attention and think of the possibilities for spiritual awakening in everyday life.
This is a good book to flip through. You can read the segments in any order, and they are nice to fill up spare moments of waiting. But if you read too many of them in a row, they all start to seem the same.
I'd say this is a good book for a zen afternoon snack, but for a complete zen meal, check out Janwillem van de Wetering, Thich Nhat Hanh, Maurine Stuart, or Geri Larkin.
