About this Book...
Teachings of the Buddha are broad and deep, often written in language that is not easy to grasp. Humble Table, Wise Fare I - Living the Dharma is a collection of short and simple sayings that are applicable to everyday life, and yet filled with the wisdom of the Dharma.
Venerable Master Hsing Yun, a teacher of the Buddhism for over fifty years, has spoken many words on the Dharma. Written in the same style as The Vegetable Root Sayings, a Chinese book from the Ming Dynasty that has been printed in a variety of editions and widely distributed over the years, the words of Master Hsing Yun are brief, to the point, tactful, and charming, but rich in philosophical and literary elegance. The literary and artistic meaning of these words of wisdom is profound and lasting. Each saying can serve as a motto for dealing with people and conducting affairs in daily life.
This book is dedicated to young adults for cultivation of body and mind in daily life. It is hoped that the wisdom within will have a profound influence on how they conduct themselves in the future. Humble Table, Wise Fare, like the enduring The Vegetable Root Sayings, is not delicious gourmet food, but rather the plain vegetables that go with a simple meal. Readers can be spiritually invigorated and completely relaxed and happy at this humble table.
