HAIKU: Zen Poems to Leave you Breathless

Haiku expresses deep meaning in few words.

It represents the ultimate refinement of a long tradition of eastern literature which derives its inspiration from a type of Buddhism known as Zen.

Haiku poetry excels in one of the rarest of artistic virtues – the virtue of knowing when to stop; of knowing when enough has been said.

Zen uncovers this virtue as not just the secret of art but of life itself.
