7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. InsightBy calexandraAptly titled. Moon by the Window. is a treasure of a book. It opens the windows of the mind to the insight of Zen wisdom and the application of that wisdom to life itself. The moon is the Dharma. and the window. framed by our life. is our way to see it. Reading each commentary and gazing at the representative calligraphy. one is presented with the direct experience of a tranquil mind. and a sense of inner peace. Looking within transforms ones vision of looking without. Shodo Harada Roshi is a great living Zen master. and this volume is a testament to his depth and his conviction. To spend quiet time with this book is to spend time with the man himself. He leads the reader to to grapple with the enigmatic. to see with fresh eyes. and to appreciate the ordinary. To read this book is to open to this very life. just simply as it is. and to understand it as the greatest treasure of all.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. inspiringBy Quiet heartThis is a great book for anyone interested in Zen.

Great Book!By hjverryBeautiful book with calligraphy and translations of poems. Very clean layout with Calligraphy of the title on the left side of page and the title. author. and translation on the right. Most poems are half a page and quick enough to read here and there or to turn several pages at a time.Highly recommend as a gift!
