Book ID/图书代码： 13B63931

English Summary/英文概要： "Moments of boundless love and realization do occur spontaneously, reflects Ram Dass, but it is our daily life practice that clarifies the mind and heart-and makes these experiences an abiding part of who we are. For over five decades, Ram Dass has ventured across the globe, into the depths of consciousness, and along the path of service to others. With Polishing the Mirror, he gathers together his most essential practice-based guidance for living fully in the here and now. Readers will find within these pages a rich combination of perennial wisdom, humor, teaching stories, and detailed ""nuts-and-bolts"" instruction on Ram Dass’ most valued spiritual practices, including: .Bhakti Yoga-opening our hearts to universal love .Practices for living, aging, dying, and embracing the natural flow of life .Karma Yoga-how humility and service profoundly transform us .Working with fear and suffering as a path to grace and freedom .Step-by-step guidance in devotional chant, mantra and mala practices, and much more For those both familiar and new to Ram Dass’ teachings, here is this vanguard spiritual explorer’s complete guide for polishing the mirror of the soul, discovering who we are and why we are here, and reflecting fully the light of our true nature."

Awards/获奖情况："This collection of teachings by Ram Dass (Be Here Now), one of the United States’ most famous spiritual seekers, is surprisingly fresh and accessible more than 40 years after the psychedelic psychologist first wrote about consciousness expansion through LSD. The anecdote-packed chapters cover many of the practices Ram Dass has used-devotional bhakti yoga, worldly karma yoga, daily practices like meditation and chanting-in his quest to become a more loving, compassionate being. He discusses serious issues with a frankness that opens up difficult topics, such as how he coped with a stroke that drastically changed his understanding of his role in the world. No longer did he feel special, "under the protective umbrella of my guru," he writes. Instead, he realized he was subject to the same, sometimes painful, process of aging and dying that everybody faces. His willingness to admit his own mistakes and turn them into lessons for personal growth is refreshing, and allows readers to see themselves in his story. The collection successfully straddles a fine line, providing both a broad overview for those new to Ram Dass’s writings and an engaging recap for readers who have enjoyed his previous books." -Publishers Weekly, August 2013
