Selected Excerpts from the Buddhist Writings of the Venerable Xiao Pingshi

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.
