Haiku

Haiku isn't necessarily a Buddhist or Zen mode of communication, but you can't help but getting Buddhism with anything created in Japan, one of the countries that punished Christians trying to subvert Buddhism (see Silence 1966 novel by Shūsaku Endō or the 2016 Martin Scorsese film Silence). The samurai influence modern Star Wars movies, there's a hint of Buddhism in that because the samurai come from 12th century Japan.

My father does Haiku and other forms of Japanese poetry, and he just came out with a new book.

So when I saw this Natalie Goldberg book, I jumped at it because I've read Banana Rose. When you look at her publishing list, it's mostly about writing. Anyway, Haiku! Looking forward to read it.
