Sacred Activism is compassion in action - the blending of physical work with spiritual intent to create a holy force and fusion of humankind's greatest achievements and principles. With over thirty years' experience living a lifestyle that promotes change through compassion, including under the guidance of the renowned Tibetan adept Thuksey Rinpoche, Andrew Harvey explains how to combine the foundations of wisdom with the power of love in action to create a better world of meaning, empathy, strength and joy. The Hope will give the most practical possible help to all those who realise the urgent truth of our world - that these troubled times offer a gateway for dramatic and positive change - and who want to act as effectively as possible from wisdom and compassion.
Jelalludin Rumi (1207-1273) led the quiet life of an Islamic teacher in the central Anatolia (modern Turkey) until the age of thirty-seven, when he met a wandering dervish named Shams Tabriz—through whom he encountered the Divine Presence in a way that utterly transformed him. The result of this epiphany was the greatest body of mystical poetry the world has ever seen, and the establishment of a spiritual movement that would eventually stretch from Africa to China, enduring to our own day. This collection of versions of Rumi by Andrew Harvey contains some of the master's most luminous verse, along with selections from his lesser-read prose works, with the aim of presenting a balanced view of his teaching that includes both the high-flying love of God and the rigorous path of discipline essential for those who seek it.
