Book Summary
Gesture of Awareness is not an account or explanation of spiritual practices but an expression of them. In succinct,poetic style, Charles Genoud offers a vision of human existence as it can be embodied once we take the risk to discard the concepts and assumptions that stand in the way of an immediate encounter with the present. Drawing on Buddhist text, shamanism, and the writings of thinkers such as Maurice Blanchot and George Bataille, Gesture of Awareness weaves insights from diverse traditions into a coherent and compelling whole. the same time, the text is a workbook that encourages the reader to engage with the material in a way that can make a real difference.It is the kind of book that cannot be absorbed in single reading and then shelved, but one that calls us to pay attention to its message again and again.
