The Sky He Left Open

Śūnyatā, the Living Lineage, and the Middle Way in Every Age
Ebook · paperbackEbook now; audiobook joins free

Nāgārjuna did not leave us a doctrine.

What If the Most Profound Teaching in Buddhist History Was Never Meant to Stay on the Page? Nāgārjuna did not leave us a doctrine. He left us an opening. A sky without edges. A path that dissolves the very ground beneath your feet, and somehow, impossibly, holds you up. The Sky He Left Open brings the living heart of Madhyamaka philosophy out of the seminar room and into the breath, the cushion, the moment of doubt, the moment of wonder. This is not a book about Nāgārjuna.

Read the full description

It is a book with him, tracing the unbroken thread of his insight through Tibetan lineages, Zen koans, Pure Land devotion, and the ordinary bewilderments of practice in every age. Whether you have been sitting for decades or have only just heard the word śūnyatā for the first time, you will find here not a system to master but a presence to meet.
