In this dynamic and utterly novel presentation, David Loy explores
the fascinating proposition that the stories we tell--about what is
and is not possible, about ourselves, about right and wrong, life
and death, about the world and everything in it--become the very
building blocks of our experience and of reality itself. Loy uses
an intriguing mixture of quotations from familiar and less-familiar
sources and brief stand-alone micro-essays, engaging the reader in
challenging and illuminating dialogue. As we come to see that the
world is made--in a word--of stories, we come to a richer
understanding of that most elusive of Buddhist ideas: shunyata, the
"generative emptiness" that is the all-pervading quality inherent
to all mental and physical forms in our ever-changing world.
Reminiscent of Zen koans and works of sophisticated poetry, this
book will reward both a casual read and deep reflection.
