This 300 pager contains a lot of information (e.g. The various exercises for paving the way to an awakening, or maybe even enlightenment. The use of Zen in the many forms of Buddhism, and more.). I do not think that the author could have written this book more clearly. It is a complicated subject, but the book is very enjoyable and easy to read.
I have read other books by Sifu Wong Kiew Kit, and would not expect anything else.
