Four traditions, free, as books

Four complete traditions from the library, each one 108 concepts with a painting for every concept, as a PDF you can keep. No account needed — an email address, and the links arrive on the page.

  • Stoicism — what is yours to govern, and the peace of leaving the rest.
  • Bhagavad Gita — dharma, devotion, and action without attachment.
  • Taoism — the way that yields, and so endures.
  • Zen & Buddhism — just this. Nothing added.

Each book runs to 110 pages. Under every concept is the book it comes from, and the chapter and verse where the source records one. Where a tradition is oral rather than written, we say that instead of inventing a citation.

The paintings were made with AI, in the visual language of each tradition. They are not photographs and not the work of a human painter. How this was made sets out the whole of it, including the twenty-five paintings that were withdrawn.
