"The Dalai Lama lost spiritual leadership in his own cuntry, but now exercises it around the world. Like all good teachers, he cmes to learn. He found that what Buddhism lacked in his country was a fruitful interchange with reason and modern science. Here he fosters that exchange, at a time when some Christians have turned their backs on sicence and the Enlightenment. We are losing what he has gained." - Garry Wills, author. "With disarming honesty, humility, and respect, His Holiness the Dalai Lama has explored the relationship between religion and science and suggested the way in which they can affirm and qualify each other's insights. By juxtaposing traditional Buddhist teaching with the discoveries of modern physics and biology, he infuses the debate about such contentious issues as the origins of the universe, the nature of human consciousness, the evolution of species and genetic engineering with intimations of profound spirituality. His gentle but insistent call for compassion is desperately needed in our torn and conflicted world." - Karen Armstrong, author of A History of God and The Spiral Staircase. "Galileo, Copernicus, Newton, Niels Bohr, Einstein. Their insights shook our perception of who we are and where we stand in the world, and in their wake have left an uneasy coexistence: science vs. religion, faith vs. empirical enquiry. Which is the keeper of truth? Which is the true path to understanding reality? After forty years of study with some of the greatest scientific minds, as well as a lifetime of meditative, spiritual, and philosophical study, the Dalai Lama presents a brilliant analysis of why all avenues of inquiry - scientific as well as spiritual - must be pursued in order to arrive at a complete picture of the truth. Science shows us ways of interpreting the physical world, while spirituality helps us cope with reality. But the extreme of either is impoverishing. The belief that all is reducible to matter and energy leaves out a huge range of human experience: emotions, yearnings, compassion, culture. At the same time, holding unexamined spiritual beliefs - beliefs that are contradicted by evidence, logic, and experience - can lock us into fundamentalist cages. Through an examination of Darwinism and karma, quantum mechanics and philosophical insight into the nature of reality, neurobiology and the study of consciousness, the Dalai Lama draws significant parallels between contemplative and scientific examinations of reality. "I believe that spirituality and science are complementary but different investigative approaches with the same goal of seeking the truth," His Hiliness writes. "In this, there is much each may learn from the other, and together they may cntribute to expanding the horizon of human knowledge and wisdom." This breathtakingly peresonal examination is a tribute to the Dalai Lama's teachers - both of science and of spirituality. The legacy of this book is a vision of the world in which our different approaches to understanding ourselves, our universe, and one another can be brought together in the service of humanity." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

One morning it occurred to me that I couldn't be the only one in this world dreaming about him. He'd taken up such awide residence in so many minds. So I started posting a call, here and there, for dreams of Dylan. Deep sleep is a rich wilderness, a playground that spawns battle and discovery, death and rejuvenation, and, of course, desire-fulfilled and frustrated. Much has been written about dreams, their interpretation, symbols, and purpose. No studies on dream symbolism I've found mention Bob Dylan as a key player. Yet there he is, scampering through our collective unconscious, sometimes scoundrel, sometimes savior, and often simply a friend. Collecting and visiting these 115 dreams of Dylan has been a wild pleasure ride. They are alternately touching, funny, puzzling, wise, crude, tender, frightening, and romantic. Dreamers treasure them, most of the time. As he said himself, "I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours." The contributors here have kept their part of the bargain." -- from the Foreword by Mary Lee Kortes. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Mary Lee Kortes is a musician and author based in Brooklyn, New York.
