The Stories of K'ang
The Stories of K'ang are a great selection of short Zen stories written by Australian Jerry M. Pickard and are definitely worth taking time to read. He continues to to write these stories when the inspiration hits him, so check back from time to time.


Introduction to the Stories of K'ang
By Jerry M. Pickard

K'ang is fiction born of love. He and the boy, (and the cat) are in my mind and reflect my feelings about meditation, the world, and some of the things I have learned in my 65 years of life.

Sometimes the stories come quick and sometimes they grow slowly, but in every case I seldom know where they are going until they are done. I might have an idea, and take it with me into meditation, but I really do not know if that has any effect. It may...

I do not restrict these stories in any way, and share them freely with anyone, for any purpose.

I do enjoy feedback. Please feel free to Email Me

May your life be zubhaga ...

Namasté,
Jerry P
