Download The Fruitful Darkness: A Journey Through Buddhist Practice and Tribal Wisdom AudioBook Free
On this masterwork of authentic spirit person (Thomas Berry), Buddhist tutor and anthropologist Joan Halifax Roshi delves in to the productive darkness - the shadow aspect of being, found in the main truths of Local religions, the fecundity of dynamics, and the stillness of yoga. On this highly personal and insightful odyssey of the center and brain, she encounters Tibetan Buddhist meditators, Mexican shamans, and Local American elders, amongst others. In rapt prose, she recounts her explorations from Japanese Zen yoga to hallucinogenic vegetation, from the Dogon people of Mali to the Mayan rainfall forest, all the while creating "an excitement of the spirit and a feast of wisdom old and new" (Peter Matthiessen). Halifax feels that deep ecology (which attempts to fuse environmental consciousness with spiritual values) works in tandem with Buddhism and shamanism to discover the interconnectedness of all life", and restore life's sacredness. Grove Press is very pleased to reissue this important work by one of Buddhism's leading modern teachers.
