Centouno spunti per avvicinarsi a una delle manifestazioni più enigmatiche e stimolanti del pensiero orientale. Lo zen, una pratica più che una filosofia o una dottrina, viene esplorato attraverso brevi ed esemplari racconti, che ne svelano i temi principali: la necessità di ricercare l'illuminazione attraverso l'esperienza diretta, l'insufficienza del linguaggio e della logica, il rapporto maestro-discepolo, l'attenzione per ogni singolo istante, l'amore per il paradosso.

Maya Noise is about the life and insights of a modern day mystic. In 1996, at the age of 33, John Dalton had a profound realization. He could have set himself up as a Guru, changed his name, started a commune, and developed a worldwide following. Instead, he did something more original. In the tradition of Autobiography of a Yogi, and with the authority of The Power of Now, Maya Noise is a refreshing addition to the canon of literature for those searching for the truth, and an unorthodox alternative for those interested in world peace.
