Wei Wu Wei Ching Lite vs Dhyāna Lite

Wei wu Wei Ching puts a collection of diamond cutting tools in the pocket of anyone who wants to realize enlightenment, the Self, Big Mind. While realization ultimately cannot be surrounded or captured with words, along the way they have power. It is possible to catalyze the transformation of ordinary understanding into Diamond Mind with them. This lite version includes a consulting tool, a journaling tool, and the complete odd-numbered passages. Full book content is available through an In-App Purchase. The text is configured as an oracular text, just like the I Ching, to facilitate concentration upon a particular teaching with respect to a specific question. It centers primarily around wei wu wei, the ancient Taoist notion that translates roughly to “doing not-doing”. By whatever name or not-name, this practice is the core teaching of every enlightenment tradition in the world. Enlightenment is a real thing, the realest thing, the pearl beyond all other pearls. The emphasis on doing non-doing here stems from the universal understanding across the world’s spiritual cultures that attaining it is more often a matter of leaning back into it than of bearing down upon it. The teachings of the Wei wu Wei Ching are sourced in Tao, Ch’an, Zen, Sufism, Native American spirituality, Tibetan Buddhism, Advaita, yoga, and other traditions less easily named. They come from the mountains of China, the monasteries (and whorehouses!) of Japan, the clouds above Persia, a red road in Montana, the jungles of the Amazon, the earth of the Earth.

The Dhyāna Lite app is a collection of wisdom for every day of the year from masters of Tibetan Buddhism and Zen. Dhyana refers to the mental state of stillness and freedom of thought. In Indian philosophy, the Sanskrit word dhyana stands for the higher states of consciousness of meditation. With Buddhism, the term came to China as Chan and to Japan as Zen. A bibliography of Buddhist wisdom can be found at https://bluefish.li/literatur/ The programme shows the texts against a background of images from all over the world. You can select the wisdom of the day, but also choose a random wisdom and create a list of personal favourites.
