Zen and the Artful Buddha Board
Zen is a serene state of mind in which you feel peaceful, balanced, and stress-free. This calming effect ripples forth from you to others, so it’s worth cultivating. To that end, the Buddha Board is a creative way to achieve zen as you contemplate the ephemeral nature of life. Everything you create upon it slowly disappears, reminding you to enjoy your time here while you can, whether that entails building an empire or simply savoring the sweet moments of every day.
Both adults and children love engaging in the magic of the Buddha Board. The large model is 12″ x 9″ and the small one is a 5-inch desk-sized model, so you can de-frazzle by venting your spleen upon it, knowing full well it will disappear. It’s ideal for off-camera Zoom meeting doodles, too. Find them both HERE, along with your new year zen.
