The Infinity Sutra

Demi
Tze-Si Huang

Adorned by the exquisite art of world-recognized illustrator Demi, Buddhist passages are presented for reflection on the nature of Transcendence, Nothingness and the ineffable dimensions beyond form, Time and Space.  The meditative process is enhanced by the book’s unusual format.  A circular hole penetrates the entire book, supporting a state of awakened silence to the Buddha’s message regarding the Realm Beyond All Realms, beyond the field of Mind.  A reader is paused at each “station”.  We are taken through the nature of duality where there is neither arising nor passing away, where there is neither dying nor being born, where there is neither nothingness nor another world – to the Eternal Realm of the Uncreated, where sorrow no longer exists and transcendence is possible.

The end-papers can be sung (from Mozart’s Vesperae Solennes KV 339):

O Praise the Lord, all you nations:
Praise Him, all you people.
For His Mercy is confirmed over us:
And the truth of the Lord
Remains for ever
Glory be to the Father
