Opis

Use the Power of Attention to Access your Natural State of Inner Peace and Tranquility At the age of eight, Bert Salzman experienced a profound mystical transformation amid an environment of deep despair. This event radically changed his experience of life, bringing with it an experience of universal love and lasting happiness. At that time, young Bert made a promise to himself to discover the source of this transformation. At age fifty, while at the height of his career in film and television as an Academy Award-winning director, Salzman abandoned Broadway and Hollywood in order to fulfill his earlier promise. For the following twelve years, he lived in a small cottage in the French countryside, spending his time in deep contemplation and meditative inquiry. Through meetings with J. Krishnamurti and other philosopher/mystics, Salzman found himself firmly established at the heart of all spiritual fruition: the peace and joy that is our essential nature. He discovered the source of the spiritual joy he had first tasted as a schoolboy, and that illumination returned and became the very foundation of his life. Being a Buddha on Broadway contains much more than just Bert Salzman's compelling story: it is a truly practical guide to help us reclaim our own spiritual essence. Through the power of attention, the simple but dramatic exercises contained in these pages can give any reader a joyful ability to see beyond the drama each of us calls "my life."
