Hardback. Zustand: Good. MEDITATION / SPIRITUALITY The Way of Beauty In a time of mindless violence and widespread ecological and natural catastrophes, Francois Cheng asks if talking about beauty may not seem incongruous, even scandalous. Yet this is actually the most appropriate time to revisit a subject that was a philosophical mainstay for millennia. The power of beauty to elevate and transcend counterbalances the negative side of the reality facing us. As John Keats noted in Ode on a Grecian Urn, beauty is inseparable from truth. Beauty is truth, truth beauty, --that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know. The ultimate human reality pivots on these two extremes of the living universe--beauty and evil. Cheng begins his teachings with the intrinsic sense of beauty revealed by the landscape, symbolized by the staggeringly beautiful Lu Mountain of his native province in China. His five meditations carry the reader from the understanding of beauty being in the eye of the beholder to its intimate relationship with the sacred, both from a Western and a Taoist perspective. He shows that the most telling indication of the importance of beauty in human life and for individual spiritual realization can be grasped by simply imagining a world without it. FRANcOIS CHENG was born in 1929 in Shangdong Province, China. He moved to France in 1949 and was elected to the Academie Francaise in 2002. A poet, essayist, calligrapher, and translator, he has also written several novels, two of which have been translated into English: The River Below and Green Mountain, White Cloud.…
