While accompanying eight high–spirited Jewish delegates to Dharamsala, India, for a historic Buddhist–Jewish dialogue with the Dalai Lama, poet Rodger Kamenetz comes to understand the convergence of Buddhist and Jewish thought. Along the way he encounters Ram Dass and Richard Gere, and dialogues with leading rabbis and Jewish thinkers, including Zalman Schacter, Yitz and Blue Greenberg, and a host of religious and disaffected Jews and Jewish Buddhists.
This amazing journey through Tibetan Buddhism and Judaism leads Kamenetz to a renewed appreciation of his living Jewish roots.

Part of the Jewish Encounter seriesRodger Kamenetz, acclaimed author of The Jew in the Lotus, has long been fascinated by the mystical tales of the Hasidic master Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav. And for many years he has taught a course in Prague on Franz Kafka. The more he thought about their lives and writings, the more aware he became of unexpected connections between them. Kafka was a secular artist fascinated by Jewish mysticism, and Rabbi Nachman was a religious mystic who used storytelling to reach out to secular Jews. Both men died close to age forty of tuberculosis. Both invented new forms of storytelling that explore the search for meaning in an illogical, unjust world. Both gained prominence with the posthumous publication of their writing. And both left strict instructions at the end of their lives that their unpublished books be burnt. Kamenetz takes his ideas on the road, traveling to Kafka’s birthplace in Prague and participating in the pilgrimage to Uman, the burial site of Rabbi Nachman visited by thousands of Jews every Jewish new year. He discusses the hallucinatory intensity of their visions and offers a rich analysis of Nachman’s and Kafka’s major works, revealing uncanny similarities in the inner lives of these two troubled and beloved figures, whose creative and religious struggles have much to teach us about the significant role played by the imagination in the Jewish spiritual experience.From the Hardcover edition.

A Spirituality & PracticeBest Spiritual Book of 20252026 Nautilus Book Award Winner | Gold | Religion/Spirituality of Western ThoughtIt needed to be written, and needs to be read, now more than ever. A real gem.Henry Shukman, author of One Blade of Grassand Original LoveYour attention is under attack. And its hurting your imagination.Every morning brings a fresh cycle of outrage, anxiety, breaking news, and algorithmic distraction. Many of us spend our days reactingto politics, social media, the latest controversy, the next thing demanding our attention. We feel exhausted, angry, overwhelmed, and strangely disconnected from the ordinary blessings of life.What if the deeper problem is not simply stress?What if our imagination itself has been wounded?For more than three decades, author Rodger Kamenetz has explored a path of imagination. His journey began in conversation with the Dalai Lama and led through dreams, poetry, Jewish wisdom, Zen practice, psychology, and the living landscapes of New Orleans. Along the way he discovered that imagination is not escapism. It is a primary way human beings encounter meaning, beauty, empathy, and the sacred.Seeing into the Life of Thingsis both a spiritual memoir and a practical guide to restoring the imaginative heart. Through stories, dreams, poems, and daily practices, Kamenetz teaches readers how to see into, listen at, and feel into the world around them. He shows how memory can become a source of healing images, how dreams can lead to sacred encounter, and how ordinary moments can become occasions of wonder.Drawing on teachers as diverse as the Dalai Lama, Hasidic masters, Zen practitioners,Albert Einstein, biologist E.O. Wilson, and poets including William Wordsworth, William Blake, Basho, and Elizabeth Bishop, Kamenetz offers a rich alternative to a deadening culture of distraction. Rather than asking us to withdraw from life, he invites us to experience it more fully and sensually.This is a book for anyone who feels trapped by outrage, digital exhaustion, or a loss of meaning. It offers a way back to gratitude, imagination, empathy, and the sacred dimensions of everyday life.In an age of manufactured distraction,Seeing into the Life of Thingsreminds us that wonder is not gone. We have simply forgotten how to see.
