Recensione

There is a universality here that touches the heart of all who seek to listen. --Studies in Formative Spirituality

David Steindl-Rast has earned a reputation as a bridge-builder between East and West in matters of religion and is considered by many to be the foremost bearer of the standard of Christian ecumenism laid down by Thomas Merton. With this book, Brother David proves to be adept at bridging a far more profound chasm than that between Christianity and Buddhism: the gap between ordinary conscious experience and genuine contemplation. A gem of a book. --Parabola
