Introduction
RECOLLECTIONS is a compilation of Zen stories that alter our everyday understanding of ordinary reality. Most of the short stories are in the form of student-teacher classics. Each story in this collection provides a message or a concept that needs some time for consideration. Sometimes the message will be very obvious like a flash of insight and awareness, sometimes it may trigger a faint understanding, and at other times, it may seem completely ambiguous. Be patient and the understanding will dawn on its own.
There are 68 stories to choose from. To read a story, choose a page number from the links on the right, and select one of the 6 stories from that page. Or you may click "A Random Story" and let the site randomly select a story for you from the archive.
