The ensō. Behind this magnetic and mysterious word lies an age-old art practised by Buddhist monks in Zen monasteries. This intuitive gesture engages the body in a circular movement to trace the circle of plenitude. This traditional Zen practice leads us to focus our attention on the present moment, helping to unify body and mind.
Nita Bard-Burguy’s writing leaves no word, breath or exercise to chance, inviting us to practise and experience this ancient Japanese wisdom. For those seeking a more authentic way of looking at life, ensō is a way of returning to what is central to us: silence and breath.
The text is illustrated by the works of Japanese artist Izumi Kohama, and accompanied by photos and a glossary to complete this introduction to the Zen practice of ensō.
