Living In Zen: Lighten Up. There's Nothing Wrong With A Little Joy, Happiness, and Pleasure.

Living In Zen could be titled “How to Become a Happy Person.” Zen Monk Eduardo invites you to rise above the notion that you’re living in sin (as most belief systems want you to accept). He suggests instead that you Live the Zen Life of doing good, being ethical & responsible, living well, and graciously embracing Happiness.
In these pages, the word Happiness refers to a deep-seated, long-term, persistent inner buoyancy of joy and positive energy. You can get that kind of Happiness by starting your own program of inner development centered around the practice of Zen meditation. The first pleasant surprise you’ll find in this book is that Eduardo defines and explains in clear language exactly what Zen is. You might have noticed, most books about Zen do not define it clearly. Not so with this book.
Eduardo gives you a clear definition and a thorough understanding of Zen and what it’s like to get over yourself and live a Zen life. It gives dozens of examples of how and why being a Zen practitioner will improve your life. This a short book about Zen, only about sixty typical paperback pages. But it doesn’t try to teach you how to establish your own practice. You’ll find that in Eduardo’s book, Original Zen, also available on amazon.com.
