An Oak Tree In The Garden By Narendra Murty

 

This book gives you a taste of the wisdom showing how they use puzzling or surprising methods to help their students reach enlightenment. This is a book that tells readers to step outside your comfort zone and explore a different way of thinking. It’s a journey into the world of Zen that will leave you with new and fresh outlook on life.This book takes you into the world of Zen, a spiritual way of thinking that often doesn't make sense at first. Zen is different from what we’re used to because it doesn’t rely on logic or reason to understand life’s big questions. Instead, it encourages us to go beyond our usual way of thinking to find deeper meaning.

Zen teaches that true understanding or enlightenment can’t be reached by simply using logic or gathering lots of knowledge. In fact, Zen often use strange or unexpected answers to stop our minds from trying to analyze everything. When Joshu says, "An oak tree in the garden," he’s not giving a logical answer he is trying to help the monk (and us) see things in a new way By breaking the usual pattern of thinking, Zen opens up a new way of understanding life that goes beyond words and logic. Zen encourages us to find meaning in simple things, like an oak tree in a garden, and to stop overthinking.

This book is great for anyone who’s curious about Zen or looking to explore a new way of thinking. If you often feel the need to understand everything logically, this book will challenge you to step outside of that mindset. 

If you want to experience something unique and meaningful, this book is definitely worth your time. 

Highly Recommended!!!!
