This is a tour de force on the essence of life, human nature, and how to live a good simple life — all distilled through the lens of the Three Creeds: Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism. Hung Ying-ming and many of the literati had an almost mystical concept of literature. Just as the patterns of a flight of birds express the underlying principles of nature, so the patterns of the best literature express the Tao, or the Way, in man. The Unencumbered Spirit is a handbook of the Way, its verses to be intuitively and spontaneously understood through contemplation and meditation. The great value of The Unencumbered Spirit is that so many of the vital seeds of contemplation have been set down in this single volume with inspired clarity. In Hung's poetic prose are expressed the infinite transformations of the world's opposites — what the Chinese called yin and yang — good and evil, honesty and deception, wisdom and foolishness, being and non-being. Wise, profound, spiritual, witty, and timeless, The Unencumbered Spirit is about rejecting desire and greed. It is a book about revealing clear Truth, stripping away all the extraneous layers of self-deception and phenomenal attachment. It is a book about living without stuff, whether material, psychological, or spiritual. It is about living with simplicity and awareness of ultimate truth.
