Nothing to Do, Nowhere to Go : Commentaries on the teachings of Master Linji.

Thich Nhat Hanh

A Buddha is a person who has no more business to do and isn't looking for anything. In doing nothing, in simply stopping, we can live freely and true to ourselves and our liberation will contribute to the liberation of all beings." — Thich Nhat Hanh

In this fresh translation and commentary, Thich Nhat Hanh explores the essential teachings of Master Linji, one of the founders of Zen Buddhism. Linji's unorthodox teachings remind us that insight is better reached through our own experience and practice than by following others.

With humor, skill, and compassion, Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how we can each get closer to the ideal person within us, the person who simply is, with nothing to achieve and nowhere to be.
