Grab Instantly Zen Judaism: For You, A Little Enlightenment Devised By David M. Bader Published As Interactive EBook

little read, good for a few laughs! A clever little book! Often hilarious, always accurate and succinct, completely entertaining, Best coffee table book ever: Fun book! I would doubt someone who is neither Jewish nor has studied Zen literature will enjoy these oneliner koans as much as I did.
Made me contemplate impermanence along with helping me celebrate my Jewish identity at the same time, Very clever. Such pearls of wisdoms and hilarious, too! This book is a humorous collection of aphorisms that seek to combine the ideas/cultures of Judaism and Zen Buddhism for the sake of some insightful laughs.


An example: "The Torah says, 'Love thy neighbor as thy self, ' The Buddha says there is no 'self, ' So maybe you are off the hook, " p.Funny and a good summary of some Buddhist thought and laffs

Lots of chuckling and good buddhism too would recommend for a grey WA day and for the sickened of a Jewish friend This is a fun little chuckle flipthru.
Endearingly sweet without being too cloyinglyjewy,
Delicate and wry observations in good humor, Few spiritual practices are more intriguing or elusive than those of Zen Judaism,” says David M, Bader in the foreword to Zen Judaism, “This growing movement offers a unique way to follow in the footsteps of the Buddha, ideally without gaining quite so much weight, ” These nearlysacred teachings are capable “of bringing about an enlightenment experience so pure, so elevating, and so intense, you could plotz, ”

For you, some samples:

To know the Buddha is the highest attainment, Second highest is to go to the same doctor as the Buddha,

Be here now, Be someplace else later. Is that so complicated

There is no escaping Karma, In a previous life, you never called, you never wrote, you never visited, And whose fault was that

If there is no self, whose arthritis is this

Be patient and achieve all things.
Be impatient and achieve all things faster, I've seen many Jewish"something" books over the years and, although I love the idea I rapidly got tired of the schticky humor, Maybe reading a page which is one koen a week would have been better than trying to read it in one sitting, "Whenever you feel anger, you should say, "May I be free of this anger!" This rarely works, but talking to yourself in public will encourage others to leave you alone.


"Be a radiant channel of light and love, Project compassionate acceptance and encouragement in all directions, Keep telling others, "May you be happy, may you be peaceful, may you be free from suffering, May all beings be happy, may all beings be peaceful, may all beings be free from suffering, " Don't expect anyone to thank you for all your trouble,

.

I laughed out loud when came across this little hardcover book in Kauai, and picked it up at the same time as a more serious one from the Dalai Lama.
I find it hilarious and truthful at the same time, a great combination on days when I need to stop taking things too seriously.
This book is hilarious. "Learn of the pine from the pine
Learn of the bamboo from the bamboo
Learn of the kugel from the kugel" It's best not to say too much just read this book and smile at the bits of wisdom meditate on their wisdom.
Seriously funny. the subtitle says it all, a little lightheartedness, too. FROM THE PUBLISHER
