Illumination - A Guide to the Buddhist Method of No-Method by Rebecca Li, is a beautifully written book containing teaching about the experience of silent illumination.

It guides the reader in an understanding of a profound Buddhist technique used to quiet the mind and help us approach daily life from our more natural state of being. The book presents relevant and helpful references from practitioners and sages, as well as relatable examples from modern life, highlighting how this method can be used to transform our lives. The material covered in the book is informative, thought provoking and practical.

I found the deep and wise instruction within the pages to be of benefit to me in dealing with some difficult experiences. I am thankful to the author for her timely offering and will recommend her book to others.

Thank you to NetGalley and Shambhala Publications for a review copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
