Beskrivning
A spiritual memoir by the author of God Is a Verb."This book is a treasure map, but not like any you have seen before. Most people believe that the object of a treasure hunt is to find a chest of gold. The mystical approach, however, is that the search itself is the treasure…. Here is an invitation to begin an exploration of the treasure fields of your own mind…the most exciting and rewarding adventure you will ever take."—from the IntroductionHere is an insider's look at a spectrum of mystical traditions—by someone who is remarkably fluent in the language of each. Three Gates to Meditation Practice chronicles more than fifteen years in the spiritual journey of "post-denominational" Rabbi David A. Cooper and his wife Shoshana—years that led the Coopers everywhere from a secluded mountain hut in New Mexico to the Sinai desert, from chanting Sufi dhikr and meditation with Buddhist masters to studying Kabbalah and esoteric Judaism in the Old City of Jerusalem.The Coopers’ story is an intimate account of what intensive spiritual practice is like, with an ultimate message that is supremely inspiring: The spiritual path is completely within our reach, whoever we are, whatever we do, as long as we are willing to try.

Recensioner i media

"What this book does is see through the superficial question of 'What path are you following?' to reveal the crucial one which is 'What is the purpose of your spiritual practice?'" —Sylvia Boorstein, author of It's Easier Than You Think"Three Gates to Meditation Practice can help you find a map for your own vision quest. It points to the higher possibilities that allow East and West to live in one heart in the sacred Presence." —Rabbi Zalman M. Schachter-Shalomi"A personal inward journey rich in insight into the path of retreat and meditation." —Yoga Journal"Cooper takes the bold step of allowing the practice of Buddhist Insight Meditation to blend with his practice of Judaism in a manner that enriches both traditions adn moves the reader to agreater insight into their shared silence." —Parabola
