Zen Mind: Zenga Paintings from the Gitter-Yelen Collection 2015 Wall Calendar
In the Zen Mind wall calendar, the mind of Zen Buddhism is revealed through ancient Japanese art and profoundly simple wisdom. Zenga art (Zen-inspired brushstroke paintings) surprises and confounds our expectations. Created by 17th- and 18th-century Japanese monks, the artwork has a startlingly modern appeal. Each month features a unique Zenga masterwork paired with a Zen quote from Not Always So or Branching Streams Flow in the Darkness by Shunryu Suzuki (1905-1971).
Shunryu Suzuki is one of the most influential Zen teachers of his time. Suzuki founded the San Francisco Zen Center in 1962 and was the author of the classic Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind.
