Αυτή την φορά το ένιωσα με το Μυστικό του Χρυσού Λουλουδιού, αλλά όχι από το κυρίως Leggi tutto

The best translation of this great mystical classic! It changed my life forever. I am working now as meditation teacher and therefore I created a new transcription: the extremely valuable explanations and comments by Thomas Cleary are placed now following the original text directly after each sectio Leggi tutto
