Synopsis
A tale of enlightenment for both beginners and advanced students of Buddhist philosophy. Written in poetic style, The Master is an account of the wanderings of an enlightened Master and his pupil, and is part of the great tradition of Chinese Buddhist literature. The book is attractive not just for its treatment of Buddhist themes, but also for the insights it gives into Chinese daily life in former times. It is a close-up view of a vanished society based on the knowledge of someone who has great knowledge of both Buddhism and Chinese culture. The Master is ideal for those seeking to understand Buddhist thought. It is light and easy to read, but at the same time profound and thought-provoking.

Trade Paperback. Condition: New. First Edition in English. First Edition in English. 8vo. Trade paperback, 174 pp. Illustrated with black ink drawings/calligraphy. Become an apprentice and travel with the Master on a path to spiritual enlightenment. A modern telling of a traditional Chinese Buddhist parable, The Master is an account of the wanderings of an enlightened monk and his pupil. It will appeal to readers not just for its rendition of Buddhist themes, but also for the insights it gives into ancient Chinese daily life. In the story, the pupil is presented as an ingenuous youngster eager to acquire wisdom, but subject to all the faults, impatience, and lack of understanding of youth. As the two travel, they encounter sages and tempters, emperors and beggars, each of whom offer lessons for the pupil on his path to Enlightenment. The book's style is poetic, especially in its descriptions of the natural world, and its unstructured style is ideal for browsing. Wherever it opens the reader will find something thought-provoking in the insightful narrative. Everything is tasty when it is prepared with respect and eaten with gratitude. Each house was crowned by a golden roof. The path is in yourself. New. Seller Inventory # 011504
