The Tenth Man: The Great Joke
by Wei Wu Wei
On This Page
Description
In the years since Wei Wu Wei's work was originally published, his stature has only increased. He joins Paul Reps, Alan Watts, and Philip Kapleau as one of the earliest and most profound Western interpreters of Zen Buddhism and Taoist philosophies. Drawing on the ancient traditions of Buddhism, Taoism, and Advaita Vedanta, Wei Wu Wei brings a very different perspective to the conventional notions about time, love, thought, language, and reincarnation. In poetry, dialogs, epigrams, and essays show more he attempts to right our minds from their upside down view of existence and stop us in the tracks of our spiritual journey. If there is no self to 'enlighten', then there is no need for a path to enlightenment. show lessTags
