practice, and also explains the
symbolism of Buddhist images and
offerings. The main section of the book
details for

Harmonies, Threefold Learning, Six
Paramitas, and Ten Great Vows.

Changing Destiny |
|
Liaofan's Four Lessons, a book which tells how almost 500 years
ago in China, Yuan Liaofan, destined to
be heirless and doomed to die
young, learned from a Zen master to
re-create his future. Following the
master's advice, he attained
happiness, security, and a son. Not
knowing what lay in his son's future,
but to help him improve it, Liaofan
explained these life-changing
principles in the book known as
Liaofan's Four Lessons.
Changing Destiny is Master Chin Kung's explanation of this
small but potentially life-changing
book.
