Squabbling Squashes
"A story for all ages about interconnection and learning to live in harmony amid differences, from a leading light of contemporary Zen-based on a parable from Kosho Uchiyama's classic bestseller Opening the Hand of Thought. Features a contextualizing afterword by Shohaku Okumura. [Amplify what kids will benefit from reading this book] "It's true that we are all different squashes . . . some are bigger and some are smaller . . . some are rounder and some are longer. But even if we are different, we are all connected. We are all growing together. We don't have to be such squabbling squashes.""--
Opening the Hand of Thought
For over thirty years, Opening the Hand of Thought has offered an introduction to Zen Buddhism and meditation unmatched in clarity and power. This is the revised edition of Kosho Uchiyama's singularly incisive classic. This new edition contains even more useful material: new prefaces, an index, and extended endnotes, in addition to a revised glossary. As Jisho Warner writes in her preface, Opening the Hand of Thought "goes directly to the heart of Zen practice... showing how Zen Buddhism can be a deep and life-sustaining activity." She goes on to say, "Uchiyama looks at what a person is, what a self is, how to develop a true self not separate from all things, one that can settle in peace in the midst of life." By turns humorous, philosophical, and personal, Opening the Hand of Thought is above all a great book for the Buddhist practitioner. It's a perfect follow-up for the reader who has read Zen Meditation in Plain English and is especially useful for those who have not yet encountered a Zen teacher.
The Mountains and Waters Sutra
An indispensable map of a classic Zen text. “Mountains and waters are the expression of old buddhas.” So begins “Sansuikyo,” or “Mountains and Waters Sutra,” a masterpiece of poetry and insight from Eihei Dogen, the thirteenth-century founder of the Soto school of Zen. Shohaku Okumura—renowned for his translations of and magisterial teachings on Dogen—guides the reader through the rich layers of metaphor and meaning in “Sansuikyo,” which is often thought to be the most beautiful essay in Dogen’s monumental Shobogenzo. His wise and friendly voice shows us the questions Dogen poses and helps us realize what the answers could be. What does it mean for mountains to walk? How are mountains an expression of Buddha’s truth, and how can we learn to hear the deep teachings of river waters? Throughout this luminous volume, we learn how we can live in harmony with nature in respect and gratitude—and awaken to our true nature.

Secrets of Successful Prayer
This little booklet you now hold in your hands, Secrets of Successful Prayer, provides answers to one simple question, a question many of us find ourselves asking whenever earthly troubles or pain press down on our thought: Why, even after we’ve opened our hearts to the power of God’s love, do our prayers go unanswered? Oftentimes, the reason prayers go unanswered is that we are trying to accomplish something that God does not want us to do. We also may not be doing something God specifically instructed us to do.
