He believes that we are all fertile soil for cultivating the sacred in everyday life. "We all have spiritual DNA," he says. In <I>Awakening to the Sacred</I>, Surya Das heightens his efforts to increase the planet's spirituality quotient by teaching people how to take advantage of their own spiritual resources. Whether Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, or atheist, we can all enhance our spiritual side. Certainly meditating is a good way, and there's no one better to teach us than this limpid lama. But even more familiar activities can help, like praying, creating a spiritual notebook, or reading spiritual books--even gardening and walking count. Surya Das excels at demystifying the mystical and urges the reader to capitalize on resources closest at hand. No need to look too far when we can draw inspiration and practices from our own traditions. So take that apple seed, thumb through <I>Awakening to the Sacred</I>, and nourish those precious roots of spirituality. <I>--Brian Bruya</I> 290673 1999 Awakening to the Sacred: Creating a Personal Spiritual Life total:109|5:39|4:45|3:21|2:4|1:0| 109 446 166 9 3 0 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 14 14:51:13 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 14 14:53:23 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Jul 07 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 29 05:00:48 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 14 07:53:59 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Nov 18 18:18:20 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 18 18:20:52 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Nov 26 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Oct 03 07:59:36 -0700 2008 Wed Nov 26 14:59:07 -0800 2008 5 1 false false Fri Oct 24 20:27:59 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 24 20:38:33 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sun Jul 06 17:48:25 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 28 19:05:40 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 06 17:48:25 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Fri Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Mon Nov 05 19:12:46 -0800 2007 Mon Nov 05 20:13:12 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Wed Oct 22 22:25:34 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 22 22:28:31 -0700 2008 2 4 0 false false Thu Jul 30 18:29:48 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 30 18:30:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 28 00:01:39 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 28 00:01:39 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 14 16:35:08 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 16:35:08 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sat Nov 07 10:06:26 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 10:06:26 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 07 08:29:20 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 08:29:20 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Mon Nov 02 12:57:40 -0800 2009 Fri Oct 30 17:25:02 -0700 2009 Mon Nov 02 12:57:40 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Oct 18 08:52:05 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 18 08:52:05 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Fri Oct 23 16:23:35 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 17:57:53 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 02:24:45 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2000 Mon Oct 05 09:57:58 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 09:57:58 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Oct 01 16:23:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 16:23:00 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 09:00:10 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 09:00:24 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 10 04:30:15 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 10 04:30:15 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=299599
