Spinetingling Story

"It’s Halloween. The trees are ablaze in fiery reds. Excited children don colorful costumes. Mystery and fun haunt every corner! When Addy, Michael, and Karl finish trick-or-treating, the fun isn’t over yet. Their good friend Stillwater the panda has one more special surprise in store for them. A mysterious visitor is about to tell them a spinetingling story—one that will fill each and every reader with wonder.

  This beautifully illustrated book is inspired by the late John Daido Loori Roshi’s telling of the famous folktale “Senjo and Her Soul are Separated” to the Zen Kids program at Zen Mountain Monastery.

John Daido Loori, Roshi (1931-2009) was the founder of Zen Mountain Monastery and the Mountains and Rivers Order, and served as the guiding teacher there for almost 30 years. A holder of the Soto and Rinzai Zen lineages, Daido Roshi drew on his background as a scientist, artist, naturalist, parent and Zen Priest to establish a uniquely American Zen Buddhist training center."
