More about the book

The exploration of Zen Buddhism in "River of Heaven" emphasizes the art of Haiku, highlighting its concise structure and deep introspection. The book illustrates how Haiku's seventeen syllables serve as a framework for capturing vital experiences, mirroring Zen's focus on insight and stillness. Both the poetry and the philosophy reveal that the spaces between words hold as much significance as the words themselves, inviting readers to appreciate the delicate interplay of silence and expression in both disciplines.
