Notes From a Buddhist Mystic

Mystic: a person who seeks unity or oneness with the absolute through contemplative practices and/or self surrender, or who believes in spiritual truths that are beyond the intellect and beyond labels. Buddhism is not theistic or atheistic. It’s pantheistic. All things are sacred. It’s not a path of salvation. It’s a path of TRANSFORMATION. This book is a collection of essays regarding Buddhism as a mystical path. Some people look at the Buddhist path as a religion or philosophy. This book describes it from a different point of view.
