Boekbeoordeling
Meer over het boek
Despite the passage of time and geographical distance, Sufi stories have captivated readers in Western culture for centuries. Sufism, the mystical tradition of Islam, reveals a lesser-known aspect of this religion characterized by spiritual depth, openness, and tolerance. In the schools of various Sufi masters, stories often played a crucial role in guiding students. These tales were told with a purpose similar to that of koans in Zen Buddhism; they aimed to disrupt habitual ways of seeing, educate about the paradoxical nature of reality, and open the mind to deeper meanings. Idries Shah presents a collection of stories from Sufi masters, each accompanied by commentary, information about the author, and insights into the story's significance.
