Meditation 042923

I’ve gotta another round of “Meditation Funnies” by M. Elias Hiebert to share with you today! If you’re new to this zine, these 24-page freebies feature the conversations between our main character – placidly meditating, eyes (usually) closed – and the devilish fiend trying to interrupt his inner peace with anxious thoughts, sarcasm, and tough truths. Topics include twitter feuds, watching, letting go, breathing, and death, as well as illustrated quotes from the Zen teachers Ken Tetsuzan Morgareidge and Shunryū Suzuki. Being a zinethusiast and all, my favorite of this batch is, of course, the comix comparing a Xerox (“zeerox”) machine to a koan. And as a bonus, I’ve also got my hands on a Special Edition issue: “The Heart of Wisdom”, M. Elias’ adaptation of the Prajñāpāramitā-Hṛdayam sūtra, a core text of Mahayana Buddhism. All of these zines — both the usual “Meditation Funnies”, as well as the special issue — are simply delightful reads, and a great ways to learn more about Buddhism and meditation.

📓 Details: 24 pages, b&w
