A Year of Zen: A 52-Week Guided Journal

Reflect, meditate, and explore through a year of Zen journaling

Each day is a new empty space to bring to life–it can be loaded with stress or decorated with moments of calm and clarity. Embark on a wondrous journey through the self with this 52-week guided journal from Zen priest and teacher Bonnie Myotai Treace, sensei. Her wise, thought-provoking prompts will lead beginners and experienced practitioners alike through the seasons, filling the blank spaces with peaceful self-exploration and reflection every day.

Explore topics from the mundane to the holy with creative prompts like:

Reverence–Zen artists tend to be very reverential toward the tools of their trade. Describe your pen, brush, musical instrument, etc., with the deep, precise attention that reflects that reverence. Being a Curious Being–What if you could become more curious and impartial toward your thoughts instead of being so easily persuaded by them? Write a few lines as you consider. Evening Threshold–Catch yourself at sundown, light fading from the sky. What does the arrival of night trigger or bring up for you?

Walk the path of growth and build a mindful daily practice with this Zen Buddhism journal.
