1. Awakening to your true self The source of all joy is constantly present within us We are so caught up with the concerns of everyday life that we have lost ourselves. This book deals with the question of the meaning of life. For ultimately, this is the question of our true self. It is the question of who and what we really are at the base of our being. In clear words, Zen Master Zensho W. Kopp shows us in an inspiring way how we can see through the deceptive nature of our concepts so that we rise up above our self-made limitations. Through this we transcend our identification with the unreal and reach the absolute reality of our true self. We experience a liberating transformation to a deeper and all-embracing universal consciousness and thus to freedom of the mind. Zensho W. Kopp is considered to be one of the most significant spiritual masters of the present. He teaches a contemporary way to spiritual realisation, in which he opens anew the profound wisdom of Zen and allembracing mysticism, making it available in a modern language and a form adapted to our world of today.

3. The direct ZEN-way to liberation A profound wisdom which transforms and liberates In this book we feel the absolute directness and freedom of Zen. With clear words that expose each illusion, Zen Master Zensho captures the essence in a nutshell. He shows us the mirror of our true being, and in it we recognise our constantly present buddha-nature, our original, true self. His clear words are filled with such spiritual force that they touch us at our very deepest. Here, the logic of our conceptual, discriminating thinking is often profoundly shaken so that we can grasp the truth beyond all words. In a clear and lively way, Zensho shows us a direct path to spiritual realisation and, by means of authentic Zen-anecdotes and quotes, he brings to life the old masters of Zen. With Zenistic consistency, everything is swept away so that we are able to reach liberation of the mind beyond our limited intellectual logic and can experience the state of pure awareness. Zensho W. Kopp is considered to be one of the most significant spiritual masters of the present. He teaches a contemporary way to spiritual realisation, in which he opens anew the profound wisdom of Zen and allembracing mysticism, making it available in a modern language and a form adapted to our world of today.

4. Lao Tse Tao Te King The book of Tao and spiritual force A timeless wisdom book of unique mystical fullness and linguistic beauty The 2500 year old Tao Te King by the Chinese sage Lao-tse is a jewel of Eastern wisdom. It counts as one of the most profound and most translated books of world literature. In a language of incomparable imagery the Tao Te King speaks of the Tao, the divine origin of all existence, and its effect in man as spiritual force. Its goal is to lead him back to the original oneness with the Tao, and so into harmony with the allembracing wholeness of existence. In this outstanding new transcription, Zensho has succeeded in masterly conveying the whole mystical expressiveness of the work whilst strictly adhering to the original sense, and thus providing a completely new and deeper insight.
