Mystic at the Edge: A Western Woman Coloured by Asia

Full of spiritual wisdom and insights Mystic at the Edge is a book you can pick up at any time to uplift enlighten and encourage you. The first part spans Maureen Chens life from growing up in White Australia marrying her Chinese husband travelling through Asia in search of a monastery where they could pursue the teachings of Buddha; he to become a monk and her a nun onto Europe and back to Australia through Asia once again. In Australia Maureen and Tom find a philosophy that suits them. They end up returning to Asia where Maureen opens and sustains a number of meditation centres in various countries. In parts two and three Maureen shares deep and meaningful explorations and contemplations on practical spirituality and how her spiritual philosophy and lifestyle interface with wider world views. Entertaining yet powerful and perhaps at times challenging Mystic at the Edge shows that spirituality is not about being flaky counter-cultural or religious. Spirituality is a natural calling in all of us to practice being who we really are and support each other in making a better world.
