The Flea Markets of France
The Flea Markets of France | Sandy Price, Emily Laxer
1 post
"At once profound, spiritual, and witty, Master of the Three Ways is a remarkable work about human nature, the essence of life, and how to live simply and with awareness. In three hundred and fifty-seven verses, the author, Hung Ying-ming a seventeenth-century Chinese sage explores good and evil, honesty and deception, wisdom and foolishness, and heaven and hell. He draws from the wisdom of the Three Creeds Taoism, Confucianism, and Zen Buddhism to impress upon us that by combining simple elegance with the ordinary, we can make our lives artistic and poetic. This sense, along with a particular understanding of Zen that makes art from the simple in everyday life, has permeated Chinese and Japanese culture to this day. The work is divided into two books. The first generally deals with the art of living in society and the second is concerned with man's solitude and contemplations of nature. These themes repeatedly spill over into each other, creating multiple levels of meaning."

Falling behind on my #riotgrams but when I saw the prompt for #someoneelsesbooks, I knew I'd have to wait until after the Nice antique book market to post. It happens every Saturday and I forgot about it until we were on our food tour, which didn't end until the market was over so I was disappointed to have missed seeing it but we went through the square on our tour and I was able to sneak a peak!
