I loved this book. Empty Cloud lived to be 120 years old. This book offers a simple account of his life (about a page per year). To me he represents the best example of a person seeking a spiritual life – He is non-dogmatic and dedicated to peace. The last I checked the book was out of print and the cheapest used copy listed on Amazon was going for about $90. I hope this book is reprinted.

A great autobiography by Chinese Chan (Zen) Buddhist master Xu-yun (Empty Cloud). He lived to be 120 years old. One of the greats.
