Description

This introductory reader on Sufism features new translations of writings chosen for their accessibility to readers who have come to Sufism through the poetry of Rumi or the music and dances of the world-famous Whirling Dervishes. Drawing from 1000 years of writings, many translated into English for the first time, the book covers topics such as the nature of mystical love, meditation, music as a spiritual practice, the pitfalls of the spiritual path, and the master-disciple relationship. Each readings comes with an introduction, and there are biographies of the great mystics of Sufism.
