CENTRE by Brian Taylor

I liked CENTRE, it is different and well done. The author is sharing something real, quite Zen, that he experienced on the bridge… and the book is an opportunity for a possible transmission to another. That’s what I’m in the esoteric book business for – to supply books to help do just that… I wish the book every success.” —Anthony Cheke, The Inner Bookshop, Oxford, England

A marvellous and truly stunning book!! A treasure indeed. A way to complete happiness is here. It is ALL UP TO US. Read chapter 37 and find out WHY things are the way they are for YOU.” —Pisamorn Chulsrikaival, Thailand

A marvellous book! In the light of its wisdom, all one’s fragments of knowledge and experience suddenly make sense. Read “CENTRE” and discover who you are!” —Tim Ormonde, England

The most remarkable new book in the world today… ‘New wine for new bottles’…” —Ariya Books, UK

BRIAN TAYLOR, who lives in Cornwall, is confident that his latest book, ‘CENTRE THE TRUTH ABOUT EVERYTHING’, is a work that will change your life. Brian, a practising Buddhist, describes how a process of Centering Meditation, when practised correctly and over time, will allow us to discover hidden depths to ourselves that we did not know existed. On occasions the book is a challenging read but if the benefits are as described, the effort in reading and attempting to understand what Brian is trying to tell us, will certainly be worthwhile.” —Rorie Smith, Writer & Journalist, England

May all beings use the CENTRE to be ONE forever, free from hatred, difficulties and pain, completely free from Dukkha.” —Martin Juchem, Germany

I like the proverb about the fisherman not feeling the fish’s pain till he becomes the fish.” —Beckie Brook, Animal Aid Teacher, England

CENTRE resonates well with me!” —Josie Sucu, Kinesiologist & Reiki Practitioner, Bristol, UK

A soul filled with much wisdom, has brought back home the knowing of whom I am, my life long instinctive being, given freely with love…

A leaf fell from a Linden Tree,
It was, as if, a gentle hand and heart,
Had guided it to me,
And freely did it float nearby,
As if a spell of magic rhyme,
Had spoken from the sky—
“One, and not two,
That’s all you have to do,
One and not two,
That’s all you have to do.”
OOPS! I said,
On this, I have to chew.

—Jasmin Horst E.P. Seiler, Poet & Writer, Ontario, Canada

I spoke to my pupils in Italy about the Centre. One of them entered a speech-making competition. Other contestants told me that she said, in her speech, that a teacher of hers had made her a far less selfish person by explaining to her that the world was like an octopus, with each individual a leg of the creature.” —B.T., Austria

I really like idea of this book although I am not so good in English to understand everything… I am really excited about it…” —Dub Coonco, Graphic Designer, Slovakia

ARTICLE: REVIEW for Oxford University Buddhist Journal

The Buddha’s intention was never academic but purely practical, in the sense of understanding quite basic ideas (dhammas) and putting them into practice in order to gain specific results in this lifetime. That still ought to be so today. But, over the centuries, this hasn’t always been the case, particularly today. So it is that ‘CENTRE’ acts as a revelation and practical guide book, fulfils the Buddha’s teaching, yet offers a new key to unlock the conceptual doors that bar us from direct experience of reality − essential for liberating the mind from suffering. Brian Taylor is a former Open Scholar of St. Edmund Hall, Oxford. As a result of his Zen-like experience (described in the Prologue) something bright arose in the centre of his body along with a sense of boundless integration. He saw that the whole world, together with the senses that contacted the world, were, and always had been, outside and were and always had been the source of every conceivable form of suffering and inconvenience.

EXCERPT: CHAPTER 14

“One needs to remember that the Centre is your centre, the gateway to your real self, where you came in and where you go out, and it is also the Centre of the universe. Your Centre and the Centre of the universe are not two things.

If you consider that the Centre and source of the universe has produced everything that exists and has ever existed; microbes, mammoths, mountains, stars, solar systems, black holes, flowers, machines, poetry, music and everything else, you will see the significance of this.

Because everything was possible, everything is possible.

And the source of this enormous potential power is inside you at a precise location, which cannot register on any modern scientific instrument.

So how to begin? Not everyone can. However, at a later stage, you will be able to see that all living beings – dogs, cats, insects, humans – have this Centre. (Otherwise they could not exist).

But access for most of them is limited either to sleep or between births. Conscious access is limited to a few. There’s no prohibition. It’s just a question of differing levels of development. A worm senses vibrations and feels through touch. But it cannot see, hear and think as we can.

Moreover, it is not aware that it doesn’t. So it is with beings. They cannot see the Centre and they are not aware that they don’t.

So a normal man, with all his senses intact, in good health and alert, tends to be mentally imprisoned in thought-patterns, most of which are either the contents of the present life, the existing brain, or earlier versions of this.

He is programmed to survive in the world as he knows it. He is unlikely to have any interest in exploring something of whose existence he is unaware.

Of course we are not entirely without experience of something so fundamental. But we lack conscious, waking experience. Because our usual experience of the Centre is in sleep.”
