Scribbles on the Restroom Wall

Taken from the Scott Shaw Zen Blog 1.0, these Zen Musings discuss Life, Existence, Spirituality, Art, Film, and Consciousness in the way only Scott Shaw can present. The Asian Journal of Zen writes, “This book takes the reader deeply into the mind of ever-expanding human consciousness as it charts it way through the philosophies, observations, and experiences of one of the leading proponents of modern Zen, Scott Shaw. The words presented in this book lead the reader to investigate their own thoughts, morals, and ideologies. Not only does it provide them with expansive food for thought, but also it guides them to come to a clearer conclusion about their own interpersonal and spiritual relationship with themselves, the world, modern society, and the cosmos.”
