PARABLES OF ZEN is a Chinese depiction of the popular Buddhist classic compiled from twelve sutras by an Indian monk in the fifth century. All accounts in the book are crisp, entertaining and meaningful. The stories appear unbelievable and almost absurd. but they are really full of wisdom and provide a clear mirror for reflection of the inner self.

The distinction of this compilation among other sutras lies in its rhetoric, which is concise, vivid and humorous. Through the skilful hands of the cartoonist NS Chen, the profound meaning in this ancient classic has been made concrete and easily understood.
