神聖の充滿—AN ULTIMATE GUIDE TO ZEN LIVING is a collection of photographs of Buddha statues taken by Liu Chao-Tze between 2016 and 2020 in Europe. These statues are often found in garden sections, surrounded by tropical plants and artificial turf, or appear in home décor sections as flowerpot or candle holders—settings that are both absurd and captivating. Moving through museum shops, antique stores, flea markets, supermarkets, and residential windowsills, the book offers glimpses into various European cities. It reads like both a travel journal and a scripture returning from the “West”.

Building upon the content of AN ULTIMATE GUIDE TO ZEN LIVING. Vol.1 & Vol.2 (2017), this complete edition includes all photographs collected over five years. Printed on Bible paper and bound in PVC leatherette with sewn binding. Small enough to fit in your hand, perfect for carrying anywhere.

The dust jacket features a selection of coloured paper with a gold-foil stamped title, exuding a subtle yet sacred presence.
