Gesture of Awareness
By:Charles Genoud
Published on 2006-12-04 by Simon and Schuster
|||Unlike many books that explore the meaning of spiritual practice, Gesture of Awareness is not an account or explanation of such practices but an expression of them. In succinct, poetic style, Charles offers a vision of human existence as it can be lived and embodied, once we take the risk to discard those concepts and assumptions that stand in the way of an immediate encounter with the present. Drawing on Buddhist texts, shamanism and the writings of thinkers such as Maurice Blanchot and Georges Bataille, Gesture of Awareness weaves insights from these diverse traditions into a coherent and compelling whole. At the same time, the text is a workbook that encourages the reader to engage with the material in a way that can make a real difference in his or her life. It is the kind of book that cannot be absorbed in a single reading and then shelved, but one that calls us to pay attention to its message again and again.| -Stephen Batchelor, author of Buddhism without Beliefs, and Living with the Devil |
