My favorite introductions to Zen are:
(1) Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind by Shunryu Suzuki
(2) Complete Idiot's Guide to Zen Living by Gary McClain & Eve Adamson
(3) Hardcore Zen by Brad Warner
All three are helpful intros to Zen.

To be honest I am completely ignorant to what Zen is . I saw Zen referred to in the weekly show "Life" and what was said (Zen related) really sounded good. So I thought I would see what was out there. Can you all recommend a book to read ?

He certainly doesn't look as old as 84!
seems that it benefits mental as well as physical health.
Zen has significantly changed my life to say the least! I highly recommend it to anyone.

Once a monk with no robes who had even lost his begging bowl - decided it was best to meditate and find who is hungry.
After a few hours of meditation he realized his fundamental error - and sought out some rice and a bed.
Do not seek to attain the non existent
Rest with what IS
Attend to the work at hand

There is a phrase that has not died and has been around for what seems to have been a long time... "Out of sight, out of mind..." This doesn't apply with sight only though... One can control his or her mind by recognizing his or her own patterns... With this being a most basic one...
E.g. If I want to think of art a lot, will myself to view art, and challenge myself to create art. Naturally I will be thinking more of art and less of other things.
