@derbygisclair.bsky.socialFor those who may have an interest, The Four-Legged Sangha is a lovely story. When a mountain storm traps Kōnen at a roadside tea house, an old stray dog arrives seeking shelter, and the monk discovers that companionship does not require a common language. #ShortStories #ZenFiction #Books
@derbygisclair.bsky.socialThe Tōshō-ji Fragments - The Meditations of Kōnen
This little book is a series of fifteen meditations followed by a historical fable that illustrates the theme. They allow the reader to see how an idea changes when it becomes part of someone's life.
@derbygisclair.bsky.socialIf you are ready for a different kind of fable, one without villains or conflict, then may I suggest The Way They Continue. I appreciate your support.

For your consideration, stories for the path ahead.
