SORRY, THIS ITEM IS OUT OF STOCK. IT IS AVAILABLE ONLINE AT AMAZON.COM OR CALENDARS.COM.The mind of Zen Buddhism is revealed through authentic sacred art and profoundly simple wisdom. Zenga art, Zen-inspired brushstroke paintings, surprises and confounds our expectations. Although created by seventeenth- and eighteenth-century monks who were amateur painters, they have a startlingly modern appeal. The Gitter-Yelen collection of Zenga paintings is widely regarded as one of the preeminent collections in the West.
