Book ID/图书代码： 09778013B60066
English Summary/英文概要： At age 92, spiritual trailblazer Huston Smith takes readers behind the scenes of his near century of adventurous seeking. Born to missionaries in China in 1919, few have done as much as Smith to explore and share the world s religious and spiritual traditions and none have done so with such accessibility, wonder, and delight. Here, in the company of avid fellow seeker Phil Cousineau, Smith looks back on his extraordinary life, describing riveting scenes from around the world (from small town revival meetings in the rural Midwest and Native American sweat lodges to India, Africa, Tibet, and Japan) and magical encounters with unforgettable characters (including Pete Seeger, Martin Luther King Jr, AA cofounder Bill Wilson, Joseph Campbell, and Reuben Snake). He also with undiminished enthusiasm and eloquence looks forward, inspiring readers to not just seize the day, but seize it rejoicingly.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 精神導師休斯頓·史密斯曾大量地撰寫過有關宗教和他自己生活的回憶錄，但沒有像這部書中詳盡地涵蓋了我們精神追求和體驗綜合性的兩種元素。很少有人能如史密斯那樣，如此細緻地探討並闡述了世界的宗教和精神傳統，沒有像這樣如此充滿着驚愕和喜悅的心情，去接近理解這個世界。在這部充滿歡樂的叢書中，他回顧了自己非凡的一生，以印度、非洲、西藏和日本那些令人難忘的人物，描述了人世間動人的場景。而史密斯的魅力和其充沛的精力也隨之躍然於紙上。(Sandy)
Awards/获奖情况：Praise for And Live Rejoicing:
“When I think of Huston Smith, the word radiance comes to mind. And that generous radiance shines through this extraordinary book — a tribute to his delight in the joy at the heart of things. He has had a reverence for and a delight in everyone he has met. Someone once wrote of Shakespeare’s immense intelligent charity. That’s Huston. His unique gift to us is the generous radiance of the joining of his sharp intellect with his universal spirit. At the same time, this book reveals the richness of the great spiritual traditions, which call us to be generously human. A healing and hilarious book for our time.”— Alan Jones, dean emeritus of Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, and honorary canon of the Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres
“One loves what Huston Smith brings to us as one loves an unfailing source of light and warmth. A book — a life — that nourishes the spirit as it opens the heart.”— Jacob Needleman, author of An Unknown World: Notes on the Meaning of the Earth
“An enthusiastic discourse on authentic joy, and Smith’s joy resonates from every page. His missionary lineage and childhood in rural China...positioned him to look at life through a different lens. As he matured, he made a decision to use that lens to find the humanity at the heart of what he perceived. Humble, kind, and nonconforming, Smith gives readers the gift of observing through the obvious to the core of existence and the eternal spirit that is our birthright.”— Anna Jedrziewski, Retailing Insight

“I read Huston Smith’s The World’s Religions as a teenager. It was the most influential event in my life. He has shaped my thinking and my lifelong quest, and guided me to where I am today.”— Deepak Chopra, author of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success and War of the Worldviews
“Huston Smith’s words serve me well in traversing my spiritual path.”— Ram Dass, author of Be Here Now
“Huston Smith approaches religion with the wisdom of a philosopher and the wonder of a child. He looks for similarities that unite, not differences that divide. He comes armed with knowledge and blessed with understanding.”— Don Lattin, author of The Harvard Psychedelic Club
