Description: Taken from five different Chinese books composed by the Venerable Xiao Pingshi, one of the most notable and prolific Buddhist teachers in the Chinese-speaking world, this book provides Western readers with distinctive samples of Master Xiao's incisive and illuminating views on subjects that are highly relevant yet often overlooked by today's Buddhist learners:
- A powerful Dharma-door of Buddha-mindfulness that can be practiced anytime anywhere;
- The proper steps and sequence of Dharma cultivation one should follow after achieving awakening to the True Mind;
- The inviolable rule that the personal realization of the essence of Buddhist enlightenment should never deviate from Buddha's sacred teachings;
- The deviation of Tibetan Lamaism's doctrines and practices from those of the Buddha Dharam;
- And lastly, the pervasive misunderstanding regarding the content of Chan awakening.
