Bô Yin Râ is not a Chinese poet, Indian fakir, or Tibetan yogi, but the German-born author and painter Joseph Anton Schneiderfranken. Bô Yin Râ published forty works, from 1919 to 1939, that deal with questions of religion, metaphysics, and philosophy from a completely new perspective. This volume is the first translation into English of Die Weisheit des Johannes, first published in 1924.
