What if the most important book in the Buddhist canon is the one nobody reads?

How they work. The sixteen analytical modes, the five interpretive methods, the eighteen root concepts that every teaching connects back to - it's the operating system behind the entire Pali Canon. So why has almost no one outside academia ever heard of it? Because the only English translation, published in 1962, reads like ...

Tiantai, in contrast, builds up a grand, unifying vision, showing ...

The extraordinary news is that a map exists, and it is older than the oldest institution you can name. The Buddha walked out of a palace into the wilderness and returned with a set of insights so precise, so psychologically acute, that two and a half millennia have done nothing to blunt their edge. ...
