This new edition is a collection of brief passages which focus on the spiritual life, including such simple and concrete aspects as the nature of faith and our relationship with God, the importance of prayer, the meaning of virtue and the significance of beauty in our lives. The selections are taken from Schuon's unpublished letters and papers as well as from his books. The free-flowing arrangement of the excerpts allows the reader to explore the author's writings in an almost carefree manner as if taking a meditative stroll through a garden. This edition has been re-translated and expanded to include 19 pages of additional inspiring passages.

Frithjof Schuon (1907-1998) was the twentieth century's pre-eminent spokesman for the perennialist school of comparative religious thought. Schuon wrote more than 30 books which have been translated into over a dozen languages and are respected by academic and religious authorities alike. Patrick Casey served as an aide and secretary to Frithjof Schuon for over 20 years. He lives in Bloomington, Indiana.

Wisdom knows no time and knows no language. "Echoes of Perennial Wisdom" is a fine volume of spiritual and philosophical writings from Frithjof Schuon who walks readers through the many aspects of our lives and tries to offer something simple and that would unite us all with its philosophy. A sage read from a student of life and religion, "Echoes of Perennial Wisdom" is an excellent addition to any self-help and philosophy collection, highly recommended. Midwest Book Review
