Day 1. Gotta get up. Gotta keep moving. This map - it says I have to cross over here. Wait, what's that...? And so begins a graphic novel story unlike any other: 49 Days. In Buddhist tradition, a person must travel for forty-nine days after they die, before they can fully cross over. Here in this book, readers travel with one Korean American girl, Kit, on her journey, while also spending time with her family and friends left behind. Agnes Lee has captivated readers across the world for years with her illustrations for the New York Times Metropolitan Diary. Her debut graphic novel is an unforgettable story of death, grief, love, and how we keep moving forward.

"A children's story of a young boy searching for the Buddha and realizing that he himself is a Buddha, concluding with meditation and breathing exercises designed for children"--Provided by publisher.

"Imagine that you had an unhurried meeting with one of Buddhism's most accomplished, respected, and plainspoken teachers-and imagine that he patiently agreed to answer any question you had about meditation, living mindfully, and even monastic life. After nine decades of Buddhist practice and leadership, Bhante Gunaratana, author the worldwide bestseller Mindfulness in Plain English and more than a dozen other books, is that teacher-and What, Why, How? is a polished and easy-to-read presentation of exactly that encounter. The questions themselves are thoughtful, intelligent, and relatable on topics range from psychological to the the doctrinal, from practical to personal-and everything in between. And Bhante G's answers are always in his signature "plain English" style-even when they dive deep into texts and teachings. This book, a fitting capstone atop an exemplary life, will be illuminating and inspiring to beginners and old hands alike"--.

"We face a potent intersection of crises: ecological destruction, rising inequality, racial injustice, and the lasting impacts of a devastating pandemic. . . . To face these challenges, we need to find ways to strengthen our clarity, compassion, and courage to act. . . . Mindfulness and the . . . insights of Zen meditation can give us the strength and clarity we need to help create a regenerative world in which all life is respected"--OCLC.

A young child explains that courage means treating others with kindness, standing up for what is right, and demonstrating peace and self-respect.

"In this book the authors unlock the key concepts and core beliefs that define the practice of Buddhism. Through a series of exercises and meditations, they apply these principles to the everyday and point the way to a more meaningful and mindful path through life"--OCLC.
