Beskrivning

Philosophy Is Not Theory but a Way of Life, Wisdom Is Not a Concept but Awakening and LiberationThis book presents a remarkable dialogue between Xuemo, a leading voice of Eastern wisdom, and Pierre Hadot, the renowned Western philosopher. Together, they explore the intersections and differences between philosophy and spiritual practice, breaking through cultural boundaries to open a new chapter of cross-cultural dialogue.The discussions compare the Stoic practice of the West-daily reflection, emotional discipline, meditations on death-with Xuemo's heart-based philosophy and the practice of Mahamudra. Both traditions, though different in form, converge on the same goal: inner awakening and freedom.By addressing the roots of modern anxiety, confusion, and pressure-attachment to external conditions and to the self-this book offers practical methods of healing and growth. Xuemo's "Flow of Awareness" and Hadot's "Spiritual Practice" together reveal philosophy's true aim: to help us transcend emotional turmoil, release attachments, and return to the luminous awareness within, leading to profound transformation of life.Xuemo, born in 1963 as Chen Kaihong, is a renowned writer from Gansu, China. He has written over 80 books, published in more than 200 editions, with translations available in over 20 languages.Xuemo's novel Into the Desert won the 2022 Excellent Translation Award by the China International Communications Group (CICG), the 2024 NYC Big Book Award for Women's Fiction and the 2024 Independent Press Award for Literary Fiction.
