Description

Unleash the radical, transformative power at the heart of the world's great wisdom traditions. Of the many paths up the mountain, that of crazy-wisdom, although one of the lesser travelled, presents a dramatic and formidable climb to those that are so inclined. Now for the ?rst time, the true spiritual landscape of the wise-fool has been laid bare and its features and principal landmarks revealed. Written in two parts, loosely based on the theory and practice of crazy-wisdom, The Monkey in the Bodhi Tree�is the ?rst comprehensive look at this universal phenomenon, from its origins and development to the lives of its greatest adepts and luminaries. In addition to the theoretical foundations laid down in Part I, Part II deals with its practice and aims to demonstrate crazy-wisdom in action. To this end, 151 teaching tales from around the world have been meticulously gathered and retold to illustrate the methods of the great masters and adepts -�stories that not only give practical insight but also, like Zen koans, can be used as contemplative tools to illuminate and provoke epiphany. From the enigmatic Mahasiddhas of ancient India to the eccentric Taoist poet-monks of China, from the uncompromising insights of the Buddhist Tantrikas to the unconventional wisdom of Su? heretics and the utter surrender to God displayed by the Fools for Christ, this book will take you to a place where the boundaries of logic and reason dissolve and enlightenment awaits those daring enough to venture forth.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
