A True Person of No Rank: Awakening Buddha's Dream to Save the World by Joseph B

The Nile on eBay   A True Person of No Rank by Joseph Bobrow

In A True Person of No Rank, Joseph Bobrow takes a fresh look at Buddha's vision for an awakened person and her awakened activity. He examines the true self (also referred to as no-self) that is at its heart, and unpacks some misunderstandings that can hinder us on the path and impede the distinctive, empowered expression of our realization. He explores a true person of no rank, a Zen expression of no-self, and the notion of an agent of compassion. It takes an insubstantial person of substance, (not fixed or permanent but grounded) not only to survive these dire times but to actively participate in saving the planet and healing the world. It takes a differentiated person, an agent of compassion, to bring to bear the insights
