Description

The Japanese have an old saying: “If you see Buddha on the road, kill him.” It’s a reminder we all take our own path to enlightenment—a lesson the modern spirituality marketplace has conveniently forgotten.

Advance Praise

An Amazon review: "After reading this booklet for the first time, I was partially not very amused. The author has its own style which you may like or not. I rarely read a book a second time and when I do so, it must have some deeper meaning. It was an amazing experience to find out that in this booklet is hidden much more wisdom between the lines after reading it one more time. Quite sure I will read it in the future again. I don't know why.Highly recommended!!"Brandi Perry: At 75 pages long, I couldn’t imagine what it might but that I could learn from this small book by Harry Meier. But, had I assumed too quickly. From the beginning when Meier explains a little about himself and why he was writing the book, I felt as if there was something very different about the book. The first few pages in, I was completely shocked at the depth of knowledge and new insight I was gaining because of this book.
