When Trappist monk & author Thomas Merton journeyed to the Far East in 1968, he took along a book by Arnaud Desjardins called The Message of the Tibetans & quoted from it frequently throughout his famous Asian Journals. Arnaud Desjardins, an eminent French spiritual teacher & prolific author, has instructed & inspired thousands of men & women for nearly twenty years. Formerly a well-known film-maker, Desjardins created documentaries about saints & sages of the Far East which received world-wide acclaim. THE JUMP INTO LIFE is a welcome guide book to the spiritual path. For anyone who has ever felt oppressed by the life-negative seriousness of religion, this book is a timely antidote. In language that swaps the complex for the obvious, Desjardins applies his simple teaching of happiness & gratitude to a broad range of weighty topics, including sexuality & intimate relationships, structuring an "inner life", the relief of suffering, & overcoming fear. "In the West in particular, there are few whom we can call spiritual elders...Arnaud Desjardins is such a person."--from the FOREWORD BY RICHARD MOSS, M.D. To order: PHONE: 1-800-729-6423.Desjardins, Arnaud is the author of 'Jump into Life: Moving beyond Fear' with ISBN 9780934252423 and ISBN 0934252424.
