Open Secret - Softcover

One of the best-loved of Wei Wu Wei's books, Open Secret enlightens us as to the true nature of the self, as well as time, space, and enlightenment itself. The work includes extensive commentary on the Heart Sutra, regarded by Buddhists as the summation of the Buddha's wisdom. The pseudonymous author studied intensively in Eastern and Western philosophy and metaphysics, along with the esoteric teachings of the great religions. In his writing he distills this knowledge into uniquely elegant prose - full of humor, metaphors, profundity, and his essential understanding of the open secret of life. "When I first read Open Secret I could not make any sense out of it, but I had the good fortune to realize that this book was a real treasure. Later I came to see that the core of Wei Wu Wei's understanding is non-doership."-Ramesh Balsekar, author of The Ultimate Understanding
