"Fingers Pointing Towards the Moon" by Wei Wu Wei
Wei Wu Wei may well be the most profound abstract thinker ever to write in the English language. This, his first book, introduces readers to his astonishing grasp of metaphysics and the nature of both self and reality. His exacting use of language may initially make for challenging reading, but "seekers" who want to become "finders" may discover that his books are well worth the effort.
"The Tenth Man" by Wei Wu Wei
Drawing inspiration from modern science and philosophy as well as from the masterworks of Advaita, Ch'an, early Taoism, and other nondualist traditions, Wei Wu Wei undertakes a deeply direct and penetrating examination of what time, space, and we ourselves are and are not.
"Posthumous Pieces" by Wei Wu Wei
"Posthumous Pieces" is perhaps the most all-inclusive and complete
exposition of Wei Wu Wei's startlingly clear way of seeing the nature of the
universe. While not aimed at beginners, this may be his finest book.
