PATHS TO INNER CALM

MARIE B. BYLES

This is the first book to bring together Burmese meditation, Zen and the new Japanese religion of Ittoen, as paths to inner calm. It is a new sort of travel book also, for it tells of experiences among peaceful monks, nuns and lay mediators in Burma, Zen observed while living in a Zen temple in Japan, and the inspiration of the happy community of Ittoen drawn from all religions.

The author, a practising lawyer, states that ten years ago she had the usual Westerner`s tension, worry and depression, but that now, thanks to lesson learned in Buddhists call the law of being, and Christians the Grace of God, inner calm becomes increasingly a reality.
