Description

What is the nature of enlightenment, the ultimate goal of all sacred traditions? How has it affected the lives of those who have experienced it? Is there common ground between Tantric or Zen, Christian or Jewish, Sufi or Taoist ways to enlightenment? What does enlightenment mean for each of us today? The author holds a doctorate in philosophy and religion from Columbia University. He studies meditation with Hindu and Sufi masters, Tibetan lamas, and Eastern Orthodox fathers.
