Sinopsis
Discovering the Joy of Zen in Everyday TasksHousehold Chores—for many people they are pure drudgery. Yet when our homes are in turmoil, so are our lives. Awareness, patience, and calm are inherent in accomplishing everyday household tasks, and when combined with age-old Zen Buddhist wisdom, we can learn much about ourselves and our surroundings while performing them.With compassion and eloquence, author Gary Thorp, a practicing Zen Buddhist, shows how the principles of Zen can bring harmony and peace tour lives at home. Through the physical and metaphorical exploration of household tasks, such as sweeping the floor, doing the laundry, and cleaning the toilet, Sweeping Changes teaches readers how to care for their homes, and in so doing, themselves.Gary Thorp began studying Zen in 1960 and was later lay-ordained in the lineage o Shunryu Suzuki Roshi. He is now a full-time writer, doing research in marine biology and the ecology of the mountain lions. He lives in Marin County, California.

Sobre Wonder Book
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children\'s paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost \"in the stacks\" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as \"1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores\", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan.
