The Book of One

Fülszöveg

Advaita is the philosophy underlying most religions, including Christianity, though it is more usually associated with Hinduism. Its essence is summed up in its Sanskrit name, which essentially means "there are not two things."
The full title of the philosophy is "Advaita Vedanta." Vedanta, derived from the scriptures that foMi the last part of the Vedas, itself means "the end of knowledge," in the sense of being the highest knowledge one can attain. It is not in itself a religion, there are-no churches or priests, but it is at the root of all wisdom.
Advaita Vedanta quite simply provides the answers to the essential questions of "life, the universe and all existence." It is very practical, yet offers explanations satisfying to the intellect. It provides a simple and elegant framework within which all of the problems of life and death may be understood and resolved. The answers are ultimately surprising, and a great relief.

The Book of One is perhaps the most accessible, articulate and relevant book on the nature of non-duality.
"A masterful and profouncily insighrful survey of the Advaita teaching and the contemporary scene. This book will greatly contribute to a deeper understanding of this important movement, sweeping the West, and ivhich eventually leads to Self Realisation" Alan Jacobs, Chairman, Ramana Maharshi Foundation UK
"There are many places to find Advaita teachings — in ancient texts, modern books, in satsang, and on the Internet. Dennis Waite has found them all. He writes as a friendly tour guide, presenting the teachings with simplicity, humor and deep understanding. The appendices alone are worth the price of admission, and contain a wealth of reference material available nowhere else." Dr Greg Goode, Teacher of Advaita in New York
DENNIS WAITE lives in Dorset, UK. He has studied Advaita for over fifteen years and was a tutor for five years at the School of Economic Science, London. He actively pursues his studies with key groups via the Internet and maintains a major web-site at vyww.advaita.org.uk. He writes full time, his most recent book being The Spiritual Seeker's Essential Guide to Sanskrit.
