by Larry Littany Litt (Author), Wonsook Kim (Illustrator)
EVERY ARTIST SHOULD READ THIS BOOK. "Mad Monk Improper Parables" offers sixty wise and witty short stories whose Eastern wisdom can be enjoyed by anyone anytime and anyplace. These enlightening tales of life, love and work are inspired by a renegade Korean Zen/Chan monk-artist who traveled on and as often, off the strict Zen Way. This intriguing, timeless character is a non-conforming yet dedicated Buddhist, successful artist, caring lover, avowed hedonist and above all social moralist. He's a respected community hero and conversely a renowned trickster fighting authority, deceit and injustice.
These stories joyously dramatize Mad Monk's Buddhist and community based philosophy. They offer practical self help advice about social status, competition, aging, career choices, romance, filial obligation, friendship, dedication to purpose, the meanings of charity and kindness. Above all discovering who you are and how you can develop that person.
In this genre bending book of Asian parables Larry Littany Litt brings his Chan/ Zen wit, wisdom and practical advice to the dilemmas and contradictions of modern life. Reviewers are calling "Mad Monk Improper Parables" "inspiring," "delightfully and intellectually entertaining," "magical," "riveting," "wonderfully deep," "thoughtful and sensitive."
