From the author and illustrator of the international bestseller Big
Panda and Tiny Dragon comes a beautifully illustrated exploration of
life and Zen, an adult fable of an old cat's journey to find infinite
wisdom and the lessons he shares with others along the way.
In a distant city, an old cat considers himself as wise as can be, until
he hears of an ancient pine far away, under the boughs of which infinite
wisdom can be found. Thus, the Cat embarks on a journey deep into the
forest to search for the tree. Along the way, he meets new friends--the
Hare, the Magpie, the Wolf Cub, the Monkey, the Tortoise, and the
Tiger--and comes across the energetic young Kitten. What wisdom does the
Cat have to impart to his friends, and, perhaps more importantly, what
does he still have to learn?
Inspired by Zen koans, with stunning illustrations and a gentle voice,
The Cat Who Taught Zen has wisdom to offer all readers.
