Undiscovered Wisdom

I started reading 'The Three Pillars of Zen' again. I have never really read this book in it's entirety in all the years that it's been on my book shelf. I originally purchased the book cause it was required for my 'East Asian Philosophy' class at R•I•T back in 1991. I had only read parts that were required reading for the class and never really had the interest for some reason to give it a comprehensive read.

Until now. I picked it off my bookshelf last night to take a look at the posture pictures that were referenced in another article on beginning a sitting practice. I started skipping through the book and got really excited for some reason about what I was reading. I'm hooked now and can't put it down.

It feels good to be finally reading this book that I've owned for all these years instead of impulsively running out to Barns & Noble to buy the book 'Cultivating Stillness' that I was leafing through the other day on the internet. I need to curb my Zen book buying in favor of actually spending the time putting it into practice as well as taking advantage of all the wisdom that is already sitting there on my bookshelf going undiscovered (or un-rediscovered, if there is such a word!).

What undiscovered wisdom do you have waiting patiently on your bookshelves?
