Where there Is Dharma, there Is a Way

How often have you heard someone say, "My father always said...or "My coach used to say...' Chances are, the best teachers you've had are the ones you can still quote. The ability to distill a lot of wisdom into a few words is the hallmark of great teaching. A well-placed proverb, quote, or pithy saying can focus and clarify one's thinking marvelously. Venerable Master Hsing Yun, like all great teachers, has also been a great student. Over the past few years, he has written about a collection of one hundred quotes, things he heard from his teachers, his fellow students, ancient Chan masters, modern lay devotees--in short, from any and every possible source of wisdom. By sharing these sayings with us, describing the context in which he heard them, and reflecting on their meaning and importance for good living, he opens a window into his life, as well as ours.Lai, Cherry is the author of 'Where there Is Dharma, there Is a Way' with ISBN 9789575439682 and ISBN 9575439686.
