Zen Wisdom : Knowing and Doing - Thryft

Enlightenment beyond words and symbols, for those seeking inner peace.

Zen Wisdom by Sheng-yen is a must-read for anyone seeking inner peace and enlightenment. The book guides readers through the difficult waters of contradiction and helps them leave behind all concepts in order to experience enlightenment for themselves. The most unique and distinctive feature of the book is its emphasis on the fact that the enlightened state of Chan cannot be understood through deductive reasoning, but rather through personal experience. This book is highly recommended for those looking to deepen their spiritual practices and awaken their inner wisdom.
