‘Thinking of non-thinking is in itself the essential art of meditation.’—Dogen Zenji
The Mystical World is an adult colouring book that has illustrations based on verses from Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet—a book of philosophy that is beautiful, simple and encompasses every aspect of life.
The drawings are filled with flowers, birds, animals and other images that have a Zen-like quality. In this colouring book, readers will be able to connect the drawing and the verse and find their own personal meaning in the act of colouring.
