Wei Wu Wei ~ Total Presence ~ Non-Dualism, Taoism, Zen

A reading for meditation of excerpts taken from the text "All
Else is Bondage". Terence James Stannus Gray (14 September 1895 –
5 January 1986), better known by the pen name Wei Wu Wei, was a
20th-century Taoist philosopher, writer, Egyptologist and theatre
producer. Gray was born in Felixstowe, Suffolk, England on 14
September 1895, into a well-established Anglo-Irish family. He
was educated at numerous prestigious institutions including Eton
and Oxford University. After he left his theatrical career, his
thoughts turned towards philosophy and metaphysics. This led to a
period of travel throughout Asia, including time spent at Ramana
Maharshi's ashram in Tiruvannamalai, India. Between the years
1958 and 1974 a series of eight books appeared attributed to the
mysterious 'Wei Wu Wei'. These works draw on a variety of
sources, including Taoism, specifically the texts attributed to
Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu, Buddhism, especially The Heart, Diamond
and Lankavatara Sutras, and Chan Buddhism as taught by Hui Neng,
Huang Po, Hui Hai, etc., as well as the teachings of
Padmasambhava and Sri Ramana Maharshi, among others.
