> RÉSUMÉ. — « Éveille-toi ou péris », tel est l'appel spirituel de notre époque. La Voie de la délivrance constitue le guide pratique et concis de l'éveil spirituel d'Adyashanti. Avec une profonde simplicité, il nous expose les fondements, les concepts directeurs et les principales pratiques qui s'avèrent indispensables au processus nous permettant de nous éveiller à la nature absolue de la Réalité et de la vivre le plus intensément possible.« Nous nous trouvons sans aucun doute à un moment cri- tique. L'éveil à la Réalité n'est plus une possibilité, c'est une obligation. Nous avons navigué sur les eaux de l'illusion aussi loin qu'elles pouvaient nous porter. Elles nous ont me- nés jusqu'au rivage, et nous butons à présent sur une terre de plus en plus désolée. Nos options se sont évanouies. »… (meer)

'There is something about you brither than the sun and more mysterious than the night sky.'

Who are you when you are not thinking yourself into existence? What is ultimately behind the set of eyes reading these words? In Emptiness Dancing, Adyashanti invites you to wake up to the essence of what you are, through the natural and spontaneous opening of mind, heart, and body that holds the secret to happiness and liberation.

From the first stages of realization to its revolutionary implications, Adyashanti shares a treasure trove of insights into the challenges of the inner life, offering lucid, down-to-earth advice on topics ranging from the ego, illusion, and 'spiritual addiction' to compassion, letting go, the eternal now, and more. Whether you read each chapter in succession or begin on any page you feel inspired to turn to, you will find in Adyashanti's wisdom an undrstanding and ever-ready guide to 'the full wonder of your infinite self-nature.'

Adyanshanti began teaching in 1996 after a series of transformative spiritual awakenings at the request of his Zen teacher with whom he had been studying for 14 years. Adya's teachings have been compared to some of the early Ch'an (Zen) masters of china as well as teachers of Advaita Vedanta in India. The author of The Impact of Awakening and My Secret Is Silence, he resides in Northern California.

There is a saying in Zen, 'when the realization is deep, your whole being is dancing.' For realization to be complete it has to hit on three levels-head, heart, and gut. You can have a very clear, enlightened mind, but your being won't be dancing. Then when the heart starts to open along with the mind, your being starts to dance. Then everything comes alive. And when your gut opens up, there is that deep, deep, unfathomable stability where that opening, who is you, just died into transparency. You are dancing-the emptiness is dancing.-Adyashanti

An interview with Adyashanti… (meer)

This is a clear-eyed and compelling collection of reflections on what is essential about life. Adyashanti comes at this topic from different angles using personal anecdotes, exploration of the teachings of others, and evocative metaphors to distill the knowledge that all life is interconnected; that there is a state that exists beyond our descriptions, stories, or conditioning; and that taking the time to step back from our assumptions and narratives, we can see this essential nature of life and gain comfort and peace. His teachings are independent of any religious view, but are frequently tied into Buddhist, Christian, and secular perspectives with an emphasis on meditation as a means for connecting various spiritual paths. Not the self help kind of book somewhat implied by its title, this is more of a gentle series of spiritual talks coalescing around the big topic of searching for meaning in one's life.
