An
eclectic compilation of mystical writings, The
Essential Mystics transports the listener through the visionary
and ecstatic worlds of Taoism, Buddhism, Judaism, Greek philosophy and
goddess worship, Islamic Sufism, and Christianity. Harvey's work begins
with "Voices from the First World"--selections from indigenous cultures.
The author provides an eloquent, historical introduction to the selections
from each tradition. Interwoven throughout the selections and commentary
is the theme of the absolute importance of the sacred feminine in all
religious traditions.C.S. ŠAudioFile, Portland, Maine
"Clearly a monumental achievement. It will be central to the reference
library of Zen students for our generation..." --Robert Aitken Roshi
"In an age of inspirational books without inspiration, her writing is
unmatched for surprising, sometimes shocking, spiritual insight." --New
York Times
37 selections from the writings and journals of the French activist
and philosopher.
Crooked Cucumber is one of those
books that gets passed around. David Chadwick chronicles the life and
time of Shunryu Suzuki.
Every now and again when Roshi feels like reading
something to us after a period of zazen he draws a few encouraging words
from Teachings of Zen
