Wei wu Wei Ching: A Pocket Manual for Attaining Enlightenment

I have all of Walker's other works, and in this book he has does it again!Some people spend their lives searching for the one 'aha' moment, or as the zen heads say, when the bottom falls out of the pail. Though words only point at the moon, in my opinion this work does a pretty good job of doing that, like a big neon sign!I can't highly recommend this book enough. In fact, I bought the book and will gift it to my daughter when she grows older and begins to find her own way toward awareness.

Brian Browne Walker has quickly become one of my favorite writers. I recently read both his translations of Lao Tzu, The Art of War and I Ching. This book reads like a companion piece to the I Ching and it's excellent advice to follow and live by

I have read everything he has written, and he has written some terrific stuff. Relative to his other stuff this one is just ok. Worth owning if you like him though.

Love these books as translated by Brian Browne Walker.

Often translations or interpretations of religious philosophy are unreadable to the Western educated--no so this one. It is a delightful book, thought provoking, and apt for our times.

It says everything by not saying anything. Doing not doing.

I've read all off Mr. Walker's books and love them but am having trouble with Wei wu Wei Ching's instructions. They are exactly the same as those for his I-Ching which is confusing because the Wei wu Wei has no changing lines or secondary paragraphs, is it me or does anyone else notice this? Did I get a weird copy? I realize they can be used in conjunction but still...

Wei wu Wei is a wonderful book filled with true wisdom. It is very well written. The style is a joy to read - it's one of the things that I like most about all his work.I first read the author's book Hua Hu Ching, which I thought was outstanding. Then I purchased his I Ching iPhone app and that is amazing too. Based on great experiences with those two, I purchased Wei wu Wei and was delighted by it.

I carry this book with me in my rucksack wherever I go. It is an aid to melting into the flow of the way. It emphasises stepping aside so the way can truly flow. The truth lies beyond the chattering mind, with its concepts and dogmas. With the death of the ego comes the realisation of oneness - our original face. This book is simple, enlightening and a gift for the journey. Brian Browne Walker speaks with a clarity that gets straight to the point. I recommend this book to any honest searcher of the way. Enjoy :-)

I've read Brian's translation of the iChing, which I love and use regularly, and I thought this would be a great companion to that. I know it's had great reviews from other people, but I found it to be a random mix of thoughts which don't bear any resemblance to the iChing at all. He references the iChing hexagrams and qualifying lines in the introduction, yet there are no hexagrams or lines in the main text. Maybe I'm missing the point, but I wished I'd been able to read a proper sample before spending the money to buy it.
