from The Idries Shah Foundation:
The Book of the Book
Used for more than seven hundred years as a teaching story,
The Book of the Book is one of the most compelling and astonishing texts ever to
emerge from the Orient. Its central premise is the simple phrase: ‘When you
realize the difference between the container and the content, you will have
knowledge.’ When the book first appeared in English thirty-five years ago, its
printers questioned how it could be a book, as did reviewers, scholars, and
people who paid money to buy it. The Book of the Book is now in its seventh impression, and is studied at university level, appreciated by all for its simple brilliance.
