Two students of Sufism, James Fadiman and Robert Frager, have collected some of the jewels of Sufic literature, polished them up a bit, and organized them for ready contemplation. Rumi's poems, Attar's stories, Mohammed's terse sayings, and even some moving pieces from contemporary Western devotees make <i>Essential Sufism</i> a treasury of Sufic literature. The extensive introduction provides practical context, and preambles to each section set the tone for what's to come. If you haven't encountered the wisdom of Sufi mysticism, the material in this book is a good place to start; if you have, it's a comfortable place for return. 573416 1997 Essential Sufism total:66|5:20|4:23|3:16|2:5|1:2| 66 252 104 7 4 0 false false Thu Jun 04 18:59:56 -0700 2009 Fri May 29 11:14:40 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 04 18:59:56 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Jan 03 16:16:06 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 07:02:50 -0800 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Thu Mar 05 21:05:17 -0800 2009 Thu Mar 05 21:07:22 -0800 2009 1 0 false false Mon May 25 15:03:37 -0700 2009 Wed May 13 20:03:43 -0700 2009 Mon May 25 15:03:59 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Dec 14 21:15:44 -0800 2007 Fri Dec 14 21:17:03 -0800 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2000 Tue Jun 26 20:34:51 -0700 2007 Tue Jun 26 20:36:27 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Mon Jun 08 14:05:29 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 08 14:05:41 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Dec 01 17:11:03 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 01 17:11:03 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sat Nov 28 07:43:18 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 28 07:46:20 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 11 10:11:58 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 11 10:11:58 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Nov 10 23:16:08 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 10 23:16:22 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Mon Nov 09 18:32:24 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 18:32:24 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Thu Nov 05 13:29:54 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 05 13:29:54 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Oct 09 11:39:27 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 09 11:39:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 03 20:41:59 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 03 20:41:59 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Oct 26 15:03:32 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 28 13:33:06 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 15:03:32 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 23 22:46:16 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 22:46:16 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 10 10:41:30 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 10 10:41:30 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Aug 25 03:20:12 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 03:33:47 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Aug 05 06:34:25 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 06:34:25 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=586578
