Aprašymas
“The stories are shimmering, and the wisdom is real. A gift to the world.” —Valarie Kaur
“Vivid and powerfully told...takes the reader on an arduous and courageous journey, from violence and addiction to spiritual awakening and love.” —Elaine Pagels
Shining Darkness coheres around a central theme: knowing and transforming violence, from the intimately personal through the public and political. In this memoir in essays, Buddhist practitioner, teacher, and professor Linda Hess draws a long arc through trauma and addiction, literature and religion, social action and Buddhist practice, as well as life in northern California, New York City, and India.
