An entertaining telling of Chan Buddhist "wisdom" stories that we all delighted in on our way to the Dharma for our times. Tian Xin is a modern master of the awakening narrative through short stories and poems that both inspire and shock one out of complacency. One can almost feel the "sound of one hand clapping" against ones biases and preconceptions of the Dao/Dharma. This book will not only be a "finger pointing at the full moon," it will also sometimes be a finger poking us in the eye, forcing us to go back and work on opening the Dharma Eye of our perception so that we can achieve true awakening.
