Wang Yangming: A Spiritual Guide for Modern People

Few people in Chinese history have been as remarkable as him. He held the rare title of “the Three Immortals,” having achieved an extraordinary unity of moral virtue, great deeds, and enduring words.

In Japan, he has long been revered as a sage. Many prominent figures, including Ito Hirobumi and Kazuo Inamori, regarded him as a spiritual mentor. Heihachiro Togo, who helped lead the Japanese navy to victory over the Russian fleet, was especially devoted to Wang Yangming’s philosophy of the mind. He always carried a seal engraved with the words, “I bow before Yangming all my life.”

In this book, we will follow in Wang Yangming’s footsteps and explore the mysteries of the philosophy of the mind. Through study and practice, you will gradually grasp its true meaning: the unity of knowledge and action, and the use of innate knowledge of the good to guide your emotions. This will help you find your inner conscience and wisdom in a complex and turbulent world.
