Full Description
This is a collection of forty intimate meditations written by Sufi teacher Pir Elias Amidon. Whether describing a naked dive into a pond in the middle of the night, or a confrontation with soldiers in a Burmese temple, these meditations can serve as companions for those whose deepest desire is to know first-hand "the good news at the heart of reality". Human, accessible, and tender, this book has the power to open us up in ways we never expected. Amidons close connection with nature; his compassion for people in distress; his simple, clear observation of the mysteries of life and death; and his calm sense of humour combine in intriguing ways to reveal the uncaused happiness that is our essence.
