An Ultimate Guide to Zen Living

"The Fullness of the Sacred—AN ULTIMATE GUIDE TO ZEN LIVING" compiles photographs of Buddha statues taken by Liu Zhaoci in Europe between 2016 and 2020. These statues are often placed in gardening areas, alongside tropical plants and artificial turf, or sometimes appear in home decor, as potted plants or candle holders, creating a scene that is both absurd and captivating. The book's perspective traverses European cities, from museum shops, antique art stores, secondhand markets, supermarkets, and even window sills. It reads as both a travelogue and a sacred text, drawn from the West.

This book expands upon the content of "The Fullness of the Holy. AN ULTIMATE GUIDE TO ZEN LIVING. Vol. 1 & Vol. 2," published in 2017, and includes all the photos collected during the five-year project. Printed on Bible paper and bound in PVC softcover, with a choice of black or white covers, the book is palm-sized, making it easy to carry around. The first wave of releases features two dust jackets: the "Basic Edition" and the "Beginner's Edition." The "Basic Edition" features a selection of colored paper and a gold-stamped title, creating a low-key yet sacred feel. The "Beginner's Edition" is a 1:1 replica of the cover of the first sample book produced in 2016, exuding an atmosphere overflowing with joy. This is a special edition, limited in quantity, and available while supplies last. Both jackets reflect the author's vision of the book at different times.
