Mindful Renku: The Spiritual Journey of Linked Verse is both a survey of the history of Japanese linked verse and a how-to manual. It explores how renku became a Buddhist ritual in the Muromachi Period with rules designed to (1) promote an awareness of the transience of things and beings; (2) reinforce the doctrine of avoiding samsara, the cycle of birth and death that binds souls to a world of suffering; (3) encourage the contemplation of the Mandala of All Creation, a comprehensive model of the universe created for the specific purpose of learning how to transcend it; and (4) invite participating poets and their readers to realize an enlightenment when they reach the climactic blossom verse.

Available as a paperback ($19.99), e-book ($3.99), and audiobook (check for price) at Amazon.
