We embrace the moment as it is, not how we would like it to be. Just this, right here, right now.\nWabi-sabi is valuing imperfection, impermanence, and the natural devolving of everything born or made. Just this, right here, right now, as is.\nZen also teaches us to pay attention. The past is gone. The future is unknown. The only thing we have is this present moment. Meditation helps us to mindfully attend to this moment, just this breath, right here and right now. We learn to be where we are completely.\nOur premise is that wabi-sabi, haiku, and zen all provide important lessons in many things, including selflessness, acceptance, non-discrimination, compassion, and self-compassion.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1936636018\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1936636018.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bachmann, Carl Genjo|Gettis PhD, Alan|Goetcheus Sarfan, Cyndi\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
