Great stories and the last 7 or so chapters with around 30 minutes of music for meditation. Really enjoyed and will listen to often.

Brillante. Loved it

If you could sum up 101 Zen Stories in three words, what would they be?

BE WARNED, this book is not 3:45 minutes of zen tales, its 2:45 minutes of zen tales and 45 minutes of (not very good) music.

not sure why?

does exactly what it says on the tin

Interesting book and very cheap, but about 50 minutes of it is just flute playing.

A nice collection of Koans, each spaced out with a little music; so you have time to reflect.

A few of the Koans are obscure, but on the whole an enlightening listen!

A great collection of stories. A great way to meditate, find inner strenght and practice inner dialogue. Very soothing and readsuring. Well read and easy to follow. It would be great if it came with an analysis as well.

Gems of inner peace

Two thirds of this Audible 'book' is Japanese flute music, most of the stories are found in Ram Dass's work and the narration is amateur. Very disappointing.

The Zen stories are beautiful and the flute music is very calming, however, the music played far too often, was too loud and the thing that bugged me was that the last 40 minutes of this audiobook is just music, no zen stories. What a shame. Also the narrator wasn't the best pick in my opinion.

TOO MUCH MUSIC
