Notes Summary : THE TENTH MAN - The Great Joke (Which Made Lazarus Laugh) / Wei Wu Wei. === Between the years 1958 and 1974 a series of books appeared that were attributed to the mysterious Wei Wu Wei. The Tenth Man, an essential work of this enigmatic sage, is being brought out in an new edition by Sentient Publications. Drawing from the ancient traditions of Buddhism, Taoism, and Advaita Vedanta, this anonymous writer renders their insights in his own radical, uncompromising language, with humor and profundity. In giving us his version of the perennial philosophy, he brings a very different perspective to the conventional notions about time, love, thought, language, and reincarnation. As one reviewer states, "The nonsense of Wei Wu Wei is the sense of the infinite" (Sunday Standard, Bombay). Wei Wu Wei's dynamic interpretation of the ancient teachings opens the reader's eyes: "I have only one object in writing books: to demonstrate that there could not be anyone to do it." In poetry, dialogs, epigrams, and essays he attempts to right our minds from their upside down view of existence and stop us in the tracks of our spiritual journey. If there is no self to "enlighten," then there is no need for a path to enlightenment. "A 'way' leads from here to there; from here to here, there can be no 'way'."
