摘要
These two exquisitely designed volumes draw on the writings of two ancient masters of spiritual and meditative
thought to provide a guide for affirmation and contemplation.[Body copy]The Book of Nothing, or Hsin Hsin Ming, was written
in the sixth century by Sosan, the third Zen patriarch. Long cherished by seekers on the path as a study in spiritual
perfection, it is brought to you here in a new translation that is both beautifully illustrated and highly readable. The
Book of Nothing is remarkable for its brevity and for the simplicity in which it describes the silence experienced by the
empty mind of Zen. Each line reads as a simple meditation that enlightens the heart and mind into silence and relaxation.The
Book of Everything is a lavishly illustrated book that offers a fresh translation of The Walled Garden of Truth by the 12th
century poet Hakim Sanai. This inspiring and enlightening Sufi sutra is composed of short passages on each page, updated
with the modern reader in mind. Hakim Sanai's original text of The Walled Garden of Truth inspired Jallaludin Rumi to write
his famous work The Mathnawi.
