内容紹介
THE WAY OF THE THREE CREEDS The Unencumbered Spirit is a remarkable work about human nature, the essence of life, and how to live in a satisfying yet simple manner. Penned by a reclusive Chinese sage, this revered classic collects the thoughts of an uncommonly wise man. We know almost nothing about Hung Ying-ming except that he lived around the end of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), was extraordinarily well-read and cultured, and steeped himself in Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism. It is believed that he was most likely a literati, a type of man who found fulfillment in simple pleasures: reading classic literature, contemplating the Three Creeds, strolling through nature, laughing and drinking with friends, and practicing various accomplishments from calligraphy to the martial arts.

A Great re-Write
2010/1/22
形式:ハードカバー
The Unencumbered Spirit (also known as the "Saikontan" or "Vegetable Root Discourses") is composed of 357 short sayings, sometimes in prose sometimes poetical. None more than say a dozen lines long. Written by a well educated ancient Chinese sage several hundred years ago & drawing upon the wisdom & teachings of Taoism, Confucianism & Buddhism.
Some of the statements are very clear & can be understood straight away, others require a second reading before the subtle meaning & intent can be drawn from it.
The content is packed with little pearls of wisdom on how to live correctly & in peace with one another, including proper behaviour & simplistic living.
William Scott Wilson's style is easily accessible & the book has been presented in such a way that it is a pleasure to read & immerse you in. This re-written version makes these beautiful verses much more accessible & interesting.
There is an older version of this book printed in 1985 called Roots of Wisdom: Saikontan which is slightly more expanded. Both books are very well annotated with notes at the end to give a deeper meaning & explanation of the text.
This is sure to be a classic in due course & to bring happiness, peace & success to all who practice its tenants sincerely.

Invaluable

For my opinion of William Scott Wilson as a translator (excellent), see my review of his translation of the Tao Te Ching. The translation and notes are a delight to read. (Always read Wilson's footnotes!)
Every person in western society should read this book. We do not have to embrace Hung Ying-ming's philosophy, but I've known few people in my life who would not benefit from it. I was so impressed I bought copies for my sons. While some of the specific advice in this book don't apply or are impractical in the modern world, the principles generally do, and will add to the value of life.

Ancient yet timeless truths

This is a book that can work as a confirmation of what we know but can't fully express about human nature and all it's workings. The author perhaps had a vast amount of experience in life and the clarity to see to the core of how life unfolds for everyone regardless of status, race, religion or culture.
A valuable guide to answers that evade us when trying to come to grips with the seemingly irrational behaviour of intelligent people.
