The Stories Gleaned from the author's experiences over many years Yoga and Zen training as well as from conversations with teachers, folk stories and temple magazines, this is a fascinating and enlightening compendium of tales from the Yoga and Zen traditions. Stories such as these are used in many spiritual schools' teaching - they're the flint or steel that makes the spark which, when nurtured daily, fires the imagination, heralds enlightenment and insight.
Leggett studied Adhyatma Yoga under the instruction of Hari Prasad Shastri, and was a senior member of his Shanti Sadan yoga centre. As well as his translations, Leggett produced his own teachings, training stories and instructive works on Yoga, Zen, and the Martial Arts, as well as producing the first book by a non-Japanese author on the subject of Shogi, or Japanese chess, in which he held 4th Dan. Leggett gave lectures on Yoga and Zen to spiritual groups such as the Albion Yoga Movement, the Theosophical Society and the Buddhist Society over a period of many years, and wrote articles for publications such as The Middle Way, Self-Knowledge and Tattvaloka.
A number of these talks and articles are available to the public on the website for the Terence Leggett Adhyatma Yoga Trust, or TLAYT. TLAYT was formed upon Leggett's death in 2001, as was instructed in his will, and its objective is to promote the knowledge of Yoga, Vedanta, Zen, Buddhism, Judo and Shogi. The Trust's main means to achieve these objectives is through the republication of Leggett's books, which include 'Encounters in Yoga and Zen' and 'Lotus Lake Dragon Pool', two fascinating selections of traditional Japanese and Indian stories that can be used to illustrate and illuminate a variety of moral and spiritual dilemmas, as well as a translation of Shankara's 'Vivarana' sub-commentary on the Yoga Sutras, which includes an introduction by Leggett. 'The Old Zen Master' contains stories related not only to Buddhism but also
Trevor Leggett published over thirty books in total, and was awarded the Order of the Sacred Treasure (Third Class) by the Japanese government for his services in introducing Japanese culture to the UK, and later received the All-Japan Buddhist Association Literary Award for Translations of Japanese.
TLAYT aims to make all of Leggett's writings available to the public at affordable prices in both printed and e-book formats, along with a selection of audiobooks available as downloads from the TLAYT website (tlayt.co.uk).
