Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East
One of the most influential set of books in my adolescence was (and continues to be, if I look at the big picture) is the 5 volume series by Baird T. Spalding, Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East. This wonderful story (does it matter if it is fiction or biography?) is a marvelous exposition of ideas that liberate our true nature, expressed in very accessible language for the Western mind, still vibrant in the essential inspirations of a century ago.
