From the author and illustrator of the international bestseller The Big Panda and the Little Dragon comes a beautifully illustrated exploration of life and Zen, a coming-of-age story about the journey of an elderly cat to find infinite wisdom and the lessons he shares with others along the way.

In a distant town, an elderly Cat considers himself very wise, until he hears about an ancient pine tree somewhere far away, under whose branches infinite wisdom can be found. Thus, the Cat embarks on a journey deep into the forest to search for the tree. Along the way, he meets new friends - the Rabbit, the Crow, the Wolf, the Monkey, the Turtle, and the Tiger - and encounters an energetic young kitten. What wisdom does the Cat have to impart to his friends and, perhaps most importantly, what does he still have to learn?

Inspired by Zen stories, with stunning illustrations, The Cat Who Taught Zen has wisdom to offer all readers.
