The Zen Time Traveler: A Pilgrim's Journey Through the Koans - Paperback

A PUBLISHERS WEEKLY EDITOR'S PICK / Full-Color Collector's Edition

"A single haiku is a portal to the past. But finding enlightenment might cost him his future."

For Zen student Stephen Maine, a simple poem is not just poetry-it is a gateway. In a breath, the walls of his modern life dissolve, hurling him across the centuries into the heart of thirteenth-century China. Here, the legendary Chan masters are not myths, and the ancient koans are not riddles-they are lived reality. But Stephen is not alone in this timeline. He shares his physical form and mind with Wùkōng, a wandering Japanese monk destined to shape the history of Zen.

When both men fall for Yabaku, a beautiful and fiercely independent maker of mystical swords, the fabric of time begins to fray. Torn between his fractured present-day marriage and a growing, profound connection in the past, Stephen must navigate a maze of spiritual awakening and earthly desires. If he finds enlightenment, he may never find his way home...
