12 Essential Rules to Live More Like a Zen Monk | Zen Habits

I’m not a Zen monk, nor will I ever become one. However, I find great inspiration in the way they try to live their lives: the simplicity of their lives, the concentration and mindfulness of every activity, the calm and peace they find in their days.

Good rules to live by.  Additionally if you choose to go deeper (as I have tried at times ) then I recmmend these two books; Secrets of the Blue Cliff Record and Zen Letters: Teachings of Yuanwu. These are not books to just sit and read but rather they are books to read and sit.
