The Way of Transformation
Daily Life As Spiritual ExerciseBy Karlfried Graf von Dürckheim
Length3h 47m
About this audiobook
'Daily life seems to be an obstacle to spiritual growth, but this is only true if one does not know how to use it.' More and more people today are looking for new ways to escape the increasing suppression of their essential being by the modern way of life, as is evidenced by the growing interest in spiritual exercises such as Yoga and Zen Buddhism. The aim of this book is to show that daily life, especially its routine, can be used as a perpetual opportunity to practise the 'Way' and can itself be lived as a spiritual exercise: 'every moment is the best of all opportunities' runs an old Buddhist saying.
The author, a former Professor of Psychology and Philosophy at Kiel, studied different ways of spiritual practice during a prolonged visit to Japan. For the past twenty years he has run his own centre in the Black Forest where, with
his colleagues, he has developed his own psychotherapeutic methods for deepening the
life of the spirit.
