The Book Of Oblivion - Paperback

by Unknown (Author)

The Book Of Oblivion is a sacred book of mostly unknown origins, with its provenance and authenticity still under debate. Thought to be derived from a little-known school of Taoism, this book employs new and wholly modern methods to develop the concept of Wu Wei (non-action), which is present in founder of Taoism Lao Tzu's work the Tao Te Ching. For this reason, a fascinating theory exists that this text may constitute a sort of "lost book of Taoism".What we know for sure is that this is a text on religion and spirituality, and a book not to be missed by fans of oriental religions and New Age philosophies. The Book Of Oblivion also suggests approaches to everyday problems on subjects such as food, sex and politics, in a manner quite unprecedented in a sacred text.The book also encourages a much more tolerant and liberal approach to life compared to most existing religions, offering particular support for the fulfillment of pleasures, which are considered to play an integral role on the path to immortality.The Book Of Oblivion is a must-read for all those interested in religion and the history of the Far East, however it is above all a simple and engaging text by a new - albeit ancient - religion, providing answers to the fundamental questions characterising human existence.
