Synopsis:
This comprehensive volume is an initiation into Sufism by a Western teacher of Islamic mysticism who saw in this ancient tradition a universal path to enlightenment. Atom from the Sun of Knowledge explores the spiritual secrets of the practices of Islam and interprets the spiritual wealth of its sacred book, the Quran, and the sayings (hadith) of the Prophet Muhammad. The volume also contains modern ecstatic Sufi poetry and spiritual discourses that illuminate the essential unity of all existence and the immense love at its heart.
About the Author: Lex Hixon called himself a "spiritual citizen" of four different religious traditions: Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam. His books in these various traditions include Coming Home: The Experience of Enlightenment in Sacred Traditions, Living Buddha Zen and Great Swan: Meetings with Ramakrishna. He was also the Sheikh, or spiritual teacher, of the Halveti Jerrahi Sufi Order located in New York City from 1985 until his passing in 1995, and started numerous branches of the order throughout the United States and Mexico.
