The Yijing, or Book of Changes, is an ancient Chinese classic that has been used for centuries for divination and self-understanding. It is a complex and challenging text, but it can also be a source of great wisdom and insight.

In Enlightened Society, John Myrdhin Reynolds offers a unique and insightful interpretation of the Yijing's symbols and teachings from a Shambhala Buddhist perspective. Reynolds is a renowned teacher and practitioner of Shambhala Buddhism, and he brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to his reading of the Yijing.

Enlightened Society is not a simple how-to guide to the Yijing. Rather, it is a profound and thought-provoking exploration of the Yijing's teachings on the nature of reality, the human condition, and the path to enlightenment.

Reynolds begins by introducing the basic concepts of the Yijing, such as the yin and yang, the five elements, and the八卦(bagua). He then goes on to explore the Yijing's teachings on the nature of change, the importance of balance, and the power of intention.

Reynolds also discusses the Yijing's use as a tool for divination. He shows how the Yijing can be used to gain insights into our lives, relationships, and careers. However, he also cautions against using the Yijing as a substitute for our own judgment and intuition.

Enlightened Society is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of the Yijing. Reynolds' unique perspective and insights make this book a must-read for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of this ancient classic.
