Awakening to the Sacred: Creating a Spiritual Life from Scratch - Rilegato

Advance Praise for Awakening to the Sacred:

"Awakening to the Sacred will bring great gifts into the lives of its readers.  It is user friendly--filled with beautiful teachings, gracious stories, dozens of practices, humorous takes, and wise practical ways to invite our hearts to awaken to the highest wisdom in every part of our lives."
--Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart

"Lama Surya Das offers a fresh and invigorating approach to the perennial quest which gives natural spirituality its rightful place at the center of things.  It points to a way of being which does not depend on creed or belief, but on the centrality of one's own experience, and it offers a helping hand and open heart to the beginner and seasoned spiritual traveler alike."
--Mitchell Kapor, founder of the Lotus Foundation

"Awakening to the Sacred is a book of profound beginnings for the spiritual path.  Written with tenderness and warmth, it invites all beings to begin the never ending process of their own spiritual unfolding, and is a wonderful companion on the way of the sacred in everyday life."
--Ken Wilber, author of The Eye of Spirit and The Marriage of Sense and Soul

"Awakening to the Sacred is a feast for the soul.  Lama Surya Das gives us the benefit of nearly thirty years of seeking, practice, and study.  His vision is our opportunity."
