Buddhism Is Not What You Think: Finding Freedom Beyond BeliefsBestselling author and renowned Zen teacher Steve Hagen examines the most essential and enduring questions at the heart of Buddhism: How can we see the world as it really is, rather than through the veil of our own hopes and fears? How can we base our actions on reality, rather than on the longing and loathing of our hearts and minds? How can we live lives that are wise, compassionate, and in tune with reality? And how can we separate the wisdom of
Bestselling author and renowned Zen teacher Steve Hagen examines the most essential and enduring questions at the heart of Buddhism: How can we see the world as it really is, rather than through the veil of our own hopes and fears? How can we base our actions on reality, rather than on the longing and loathing of our hearts and minds? How can we live lives that are wise, compassionate, and in tune with reality? And how can we separate the wisdom of Buddhism from the cultural trappings and misconceptions that have come to be associated with it?
Drawing on examples from everyday life as well as stories from Buddhist teachers past and present, Hagen tackles these fundamental inquiries with his trademark straightforward prose. The newcomer to Buddhism will be inspired by this accessible and informative introduction, and those more familiar with it will welcome this much needed hands-on guide to understanding what it truly means to be awake. Buddhism is Not What You Think offers a clear and profound path to a life of joy and freedom. Steve Hagen has studied Buddhism for more than thirty years. He spent fifteen years studying with Dainin Katagiri Roshi, from whom he received Dharma transmission (endorsement to teach). He is a Zen priest and head teacher at Dharma Field Zen Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is also the author of the international bestseller Buddhism Plain and Simple. "This is not just another nice book about Buddhism, one telling us what we like to hear and are used to hearing. No -- it is a clear and challenging showing of the fundamental truth of our lives. This is an exceptional book. Make good use of it." - Charlotte Joko Beck, author of Everyday ZenBinding Type: Paperback

Perfect size, high quality
Size: 7.7" x 7.7" x 1.7", Color: Black (Metal Silvered)
I had a previous catch all tray that I bought on amazon, it used buttons on the 4 corners to turn a flat cardboard into a tray. Over time, the catch all tray got filled up, not just with a wallet, keys and eyeglasses but eventually business cards and other knick knacks. With all the items inside the tray, sometimes the buttons would start to pop out. It wasn't awful, more of an annoyance. But it was time for me to find a more durable tray. I looked on amazon and added 6 different trays that had "potential" into my shopping cart. Then I carefully evaluated each one and deleted them out of my cart until there was only one left. Some had multiple compartments. Some were larger than this one. I felt the ones with compartments would limit my ability to put the things I want in there. Also, I didn't want it so big that it took up too much desk space. Ultimately, I felt this was the perfect size. I'm extremely happy with it, the quality is really nice and it looks and feels durable. No more loose buttons and spilled knick knacks.

Keeps clutter away
Size: 7.7" x 7.7" x 1.7", Color: Black (Metal Silvered)
This works great to corral all my notes I write on post its or small notes. Keeping them hidden from the desk top b/c or the depth but still visible to me. Much better than keeping on the plotter. Looks great in quality .

Attractive, Simple, And Well-Made
Size: 7.7" x 7.7" x 1.7", Color: Orange (Metal Glided)
I use this as a "catchall". A place to stash things like my wallet and keys when I enter the door, so that I don't use them (I had been prone to that!). It serves it's purpose well. It's both sturdy and attractive, and a good size for a "catchall". Recommended for those like me who need such things.

The quality is surprisingly good but the color is much more orange toned in person.
