Stalking Elijah: Adventures with Today's Jewish Mystical Masters
Stymied by a question from the Dalai Lama and thirsting for a religious foundation of  equanimity, Rodger Kamenetz goes back to his roots in search of a Jewish inner spirituality. Through  encounters with a range of teachers inspired by kabbalah, Kamenetz discovers a wealth of practices that  cultivate equivalencies to the Buddhist ideas of balance, emptiness, compassion, etc. Kamenetz  personalizes his experiences and delights in finding them in an idiom that connects him with his own  tradition. When the story culminates in a Seder with the Dalai Lama, Kamenetz is brought full circle, even  offering methods of maintaining Jewish cohesion to the Tibetan diaspora. Penetrating, poignant, and full of  discoveries,Stalking Elijahis like an archaeological dig in your own back yard that yields one  precious treasure after another.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
