PB-7 This is a book not so much on the how of contemplative prayer but on what is contemplation. It is a thorough work on the topic from a person who made this very thing his life's vocation. Merton looks at contemplations and explains it in fifteen chapters and 154 pages. Contemplation from Merton's perspective is simple enough but illusive - it's something God does, not something that can be derived from human effort. Human effort only seems to make it more illusive. There are many paradoxes with contemplation, and Merton explores and explains them while remaining orthodox and faithful to the Catholic perspective on religion and prayer. Il volume presenta l'edizione critica dell'ultimo manoscritto lasciato da Merton, riveduto in parte dall'autore ma mai pubblicato. Solo dopo la sua morte avvenuta nel novembre del 1967, viene alla luce questo volume riportando tutte le correzioni e la parti aggiuntive indicate dall'autore. Thomas Merton, il prolifico monaco la cui autobiografia La Montagna dalle Sette Balze introdusse la contemplazione cristiana nel 20° secolo, spiega cosa si intende per contemplazione cristiana, acquisita o infusa, proponendo per la prima volta l'insegnamento dei maestri dello Zen buddista e i metodi di meditazioni orientali. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Now in paperback, revised and redesigned: This is Thomas Merton's last book, in which he draws on both Eastern and Western traditions to explore the hot topic of contemplation/meditation in depth and to show how we can practice true contemplation in everyday life. Never before published except as a series of articles (one per chapter) in an academic journal, this book on contemplation was revised by Merton shortly before his untimely death. The material bridges Merton's early work on Catholic monasticism, mysticism, and contemplation with his later writing on Eastern, especially Buddhist, traditions of meditation and spirituality. This book thus provides a comprehensive understanding of contemplation that draws on the best of Western and Eastern traditions. Merton was still tinkering with this book when he died; it was the book he struggled with most during his career as a writer. But now the Merton Legacy Trust and experts have determined that the book makes such a valuable contribution as his major comprehensive presentation of contemplation that they have allowed its publication.
