SynopsisWhy Lazarus Laughed explicates the essential doctrine shared by the traditions of Zen Buddhism, Advaita, and Tantra. Wei Wu Wei has become an underground spiritual favorite whose fans anxiously await each reissued book., Between the Years 1958 and 1974, a series of books appeared that were attributed to the mysterious Wei Wu Wei, who joined Paul Reps, Alan Watts, and Philip Kapleau as one of the earliest and most profound interpreters of Buddhism. This new edition of Why Lazarus Laughed is a powerfully written book of aphorisms, meditations, and startling ruminations on the nature of time, consciousness, freedom, enlightenment, duality, and free will. "We are like passengers in a railway-train who think that we can change our mind and make the train go anywhere we wish," states Wei Wu Wei. Book jacket.
