Why Lazarus Laughed

The Essential Doctrine

About this book

A spiritual classic explicating the essential doctrine shared by the traditions of Zen Buddhism, Advaita and Taoism.

Drawing on Eastern philosophy, 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.

Play your part in the comedy, but don't identify yourself with your role! says Wei Wu Wei, and he follows his own advice. He writes his works anonymously and uses his iconoclastic humor to drive home his points. Those who discover his books feel they have found a secret teaching that brilliantly delivers the purest truth. He has become a sort of underground spiritual favorite whose fans anxiously await each reissued book.
