The young people were distressed, so they looked for the
little Zen dog.
They hoped to find in the cute master the wisdom capable of
revealing the truth of life.
- In a somewhat confused way, the agitated students asked
"What is there after death, Zen master?"
That was when the wise dog started to tell the story of the
warrior mortally wounded by a poisoned arrow.
Children and their dads will be surprised by this little
story that, for millennia, has taught humanity about the importance of pushing
aside irrelevant questions to focus on the truly essential ones.
Honoring his philosophical ancestors, all of them great
sages, the Zen animal illuminates with thoughtfulness and common sense:
“(...) It is necessary to know how to think.
Reflecting is the only way to intelligently separate the important from the
insignificant and banal. This is the condition that separates victory from
defeat, happiness from sadness (...)”.

All of them present simple and inspiring stories designed to enable communion between parents and children.
In a playful way, each book presents a narrative where fun teachings stand out. They are lessons based on the philosophy that interacts meditation and conduct. But not any mental contemplation and any action, but meditation and conduct that are anchored in critical reflection.
How to deal with problems, from the simplest and most ordinary - which emerge from day to day - to the most serious and complex? More than that, how to process them without losing sight of creativity and rationality, putting principles and values on the same scale, self-esteem and collectivity, respect for differences and tolerance, fraternity and solidarity.
The need to keep emotions in a state of equilibrium, the stimulus to curiosity and investigation, the impetus to successive questions, the importance of giving relevance to informal education as well, the development of skills that make it possible to deconstruct thinking in order to reconstruct it in new ways bases, are some of the inputs explored in the books of the Collection.
How to think better? Wouldn't happiness be in the little things that are tangled up in everyday life?
