The list's seeming simplicity belies the fact that it is actually a kind of road map to enlightenment for anyone who follows it with diligence and sincerity. The Thirty-seven Aids comprise seven groups of practices conducive to awakening. Each of the seven groups is itself a list of enlightenment factors, which add up to a total of thirty-seven: (1) The Four Foundations of Mindfulness, (2) The Four Proper Exertions, (3) The Four Steps to Magical Powers, (4) The Five Roots, (5) The Five Powers, (6) The Seven Factors of Enlightenment, and (7) The Noble Eightfold Path. Master Sheng Yen's down-to-earth teachings take the reader on a progression through each of the practices, illustrating how they relate to the reader's own path toward enlightenment.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Chan Master Sheng Yen is a great teacher."-- Master Thich Nhat Hanh <p/>"Master Sheng Yen is a true spiritual practitioner of deep and broad learning."--His Holiness the Dalai Lama<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Chan Master Sheng Yen (1930-2009) was a widely respected Taiwanese Chan (Chinese Zen) master who taught extensively in the West during the last thirty-one y ears of his life, with twenty-one centers throughout North America, as well as dozens of others throughout the world.
