Category: Religion , Spirituality

A landmark contribution to popular spirituality, Gifts of the Spirit mines the depths of the world&#39;s great spiritual traditions to make their riches accessible to each of us. Philip Zaleski and Paul Kaufman show how we can transform the ordinary moments of our days and lives through everyday contemplative practice that endows them with greater meaning, clarity and joy. The authors draw on the wisdom of many of today&#39;s eminent teachers, including Jon Kabat-Zinn, Robert Thurman, Sharon Salzberg, Ram Dass, Joseph Bruchac, Joan Halifax, Therese Schroeder-Sheker, Brother David Steindl-Rast, Mother Mary Clare Vincent, Kabir Helminski and Rabbi Jonathan Omer-Man. Each chapter brings spiritual wisdom and practices, both Eastern and Western, to bear on all the elements of everyday living and life&#39;s key passages.
