Les clés de la spiritualité indienne. Ce livre présente l’advaita vedânta de manière claire et accessible à tous. Cœur de la philosophie non-duelle et de la spiritualité de l’Inde, l’advaita vedânta s’appuie sur les textes sacrés que sont les Upanishads et sur les écrits de nombreux penseurs comme Shankara (VIIIe siècle), le Platon indien. Qu’est-ce que l’advaita ? Comment devrions-nous agir ? Qu’est-ce qui est réel, qu’est-ce qui est illusion ? Pourquoi la connaissance du Soi est-elle si importante ? Ne suis-je que ce corps et cet esprit ? Qui suis-je ? L’univers a-t-il été créé ? Comment « devenir illuminé » ? L’auteur nous révèle les réponses que l’immense et profonde spiritualité de l’Inde a donné à ces questions. Dennis Waite, philosophe, indianiste, sanskritiste a étudié l’advaita pendant plus de vingt ans et écrit de nombreux ouvrages sur le sujet, dont Advaita vedânta, théorie et pratique publié chez Almora. Il s’occupe d’un site internet anglais sur l’advaita vedânta parmi les plus consultés au monde www.advaita.org.uk. Dennis Waite vit en Angleterre. “Goes through the entire gamut of topics covered by the Vedas, making use of yoga, detachment, the ego, karma, dharma, love, meditation and much more.” —East and West MagazineThis complete guide to enlightenment presents the wisdom of the ancient science of self-inquiry, a time-tested means for achieving spiritual freedom. The author discusses the purpose of self-inquiry, the quest for lasting happiness, issues of identity and transcendence, the role of wisdom and action, and the subconscious obstacles to freedom. He convincingly refutes the popular view that enlightenment is a unique state of consciousness and debunks a host of other enlightenment myths. In his straightforward style he reveals proven methods for purifying the mind, and includes chapters on love, the science of energy transformation and meditation. He takes the reader from the beginning to the end of the spiritual path, patiently unfolding the logic of self-inquiry.“Vedanta is the original systemized enlightenment teaching, and James does an extraordinary job of extracting the essential nectar of the teachings from its dusty, ancient, Sanskrit origins and elucidating it with utmost clarity. One review cannot do this teaching, with its rich history and depth, even a modicum of justice. James's book is the best introduction there is to this subject.” —Consciousness Junkie “Explains methods of Vedanta in his survey of spiritual techniques, pairing theory with practice and explaining the myths and realities behind an enlightened state. From reflections on moving to a larger living space and clutter to assimilating experiences, How to Attain Enlightenment is a powerful survey any new age library needs.” —The Bookwatch Inquiry into object happiness What is enlightenment?
