Man cannot live fully until he has considered the great questions of life. It is for this reason that we turn to Western psychology and metaphysics for help in solving our problems.

The approach of psychology and psychotherapy is based on statistical normality, or the behavior of the greatest number. In an effort to conform, we focus on our problems rather than our possibilities, emulating a norm that falls drastically short of our full capacity for development.

Oriental thought, and Zen thought in particular, seeks to activate the true potential of men and women--to transform our lives, and thereby enable us to shed our problems and suffering.

The Supreme Doctrine applies the essence of Oriental Wisdom to the pursuit of self-knowledge and transcendence. The first step in a holistic psychology is to begin examining the true "state of man," rather than its aberrations. In so doing, we can give new direction and purpose to our lives.

The author does not advocate "conversion" to Eastern thought, but rather an integration of East and West, wherein Western psychological thinking and reasoning can be enriched and clarified by Oriental wisdom.

Elegant and affordable—exceeds expectations.
Color: Black Band and Blue Face
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5) A very elegant watch offering excellent value for money. The blue design with gold accents looks modern and eye-catching—ideal for any occasion. The materials feel high-quality, and it keeps time with good precision. As a minor note, some of the sub-dials are decorative, and the strap can be a bit tricky to adjust. Overall, a very good purchase for the price. 👍

Got water in the face just a few weeks after purchase
Color: Gold Silver Band and White Face, Color: Gold Silver Band and White Face
UPDATE: After leaving this review OLEVS Amazon customer service contacted me. I was given a full refund for the watch. Much better customer service!!!! The watch is heavy enough and looks nice but a few weeks after having it water got in the face of it. Contacted OLEVS and they basically told me they couldn’t help me since I didn’t buy it from their official site. They don’t offer support for Amazon purchases. Of course it is past the Amazon return window.
