    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 In 1942, a young Chinese scholar named Nan Huai-Chin left Chengdu and began walking to Eyebrow Mountain, a sacred Buddhist site in Sichuan province. He had trained his spirit to the highest level of sharpness, and when attacked, his spirit moved first.

    #2 Nan began his quest to sharpen his spirit by traveling from master to master in China, from monastery to university to rural Tibetan huts. He became known as one of the country’s most powerful families, and was invited to set up a private school.

    #3 The world we live in today is both exciting and unsettling. It is exciting because it is full of opportunities, but it is unsettling because it is full of problems that require solutions. The world we live in today is a network age, and we need to develop the instincts needed for a network age.

    #4 In the first part of the book, I will explain how our networks fit into the long history of human civilization. We must understand that we are not living in a normal moment, but rather one where we are constantly connected.

      The world we live in today is both exciting and unsettling. It is exciting because it is full of opportunities, but it is unsettling because it is full of problems that require solutions. The world we live in today is a network age, and we need to develop the instincts needed for a network age.

      #4

      In the first part of the book, I will explain how our networks fit into the long history of human civilization. We must understand that we are not living in a normal moment, but rather one where we are constantly connected.

      #5

      Old-style ideas will inevitably lead us down dangerous paths. We need to understand how the tools of this new age work in order to use them properly.

      #6

      I learned to be bicultural in China. This meant I lived almost entirely among the Chinese, and I had moments of really honest and searching confusion, but it produced a fortunate encounter that led me to Master Nan’s school.

      #7

      I had been a student of Rinzai Zen meditation since I was sixteen. So it was that, in the spring of the year after that dinner in Beijing, I was invited to Master Nan’s campus.

      #8

      Master Nan’s teachings were appealing to a Chinese age of constant shifts. He taught his students not just the mastery of facts, but also the training of a vigilant instinct.

      #9

      The principles of Ch’an, a form of Buddhism, are psychological, philosophical, and physical tools to discover and then use the deeper patterns of our world. They are not to be understood by reading.

      #10

      Master Nan felt that the next century would be especially turbulent. It has already begun. And when I say insanity and spiritual disease, I don’t only mean inside the minds of individuals. Politics, military, economics, education, culture, and medicine will all be affected.

      #11
