excellent and timely, wonderfully presented

This book brings it all together. Zen practices for prajna, Buddhism for samadhi and wisdom, Taoism for Immortal Infant, etc etc. I have read it several times now because I enjoy the straight forwardness in explaining enlightenment, prajna, clear light, intristic awareness, uncompounded mind, fundamental mind or just TAO. Thus, I rate this book as excellent and a must read. The situation has been that you have to read numerous and volumes of books to understand just one practice. This book explains that the experience is all the same no matter what you call it. You have to experience this state to fully understand what this book is all about.
