Description

A simple, easy to understand, tutorial of Zen and how to use it in your life. Written in plain language, this hopefully dispels the reputation of Zen as being 'mysterious', 'mystical', 'deep', 'hard to get' because of the difficulty in explaining its practice. Zen is actually very practical and simple if what is explained is what it's for and how to practice it. Other teaching books tend to get bogged down in Zen history, Zen terms and rituals. This tutorial tries to put those things aside first and concentrate on the essence of Zen: how it works, why it works, and how it makes our life better. Not a religion nor a cult nor a philosophy, Zen is a healthy mental attitude that can help anyone of any religious background or philosophy.

An OK app, probably not worth the money

Plain Zen's content is not particularly well written, the claim of being able to relate the intricacies and details of Buddhism to everyday life is rarely achieved and the navigation system is buggy and unresponsive. On a lighter note, it's 59p and worth a read if you're into eastern, specifically, Buddhist philosophies. Probably better just sticking to the library.
