Tóm tắt:Well known philosopher and psycho-therapist, abandons the old dualistic thinking about man in terms of body and soul, which is the hallmark of Western thought. He shows how man must always be taken as one whole,, the person. Realisation of the Self can never be a spiritual development alone but must include the body. It can be achieved only by "practice" of the soul-body unity. Such practice must be based on the knowledge of the vital centre wherein division is nonexistent. It was in Japan where Durckheim discovered the teaching and the tradition of Hara - Japanese for the vital centre. Through some experience of it Western man also coudl be freed from hisi persistent conceptual thinking - which inevitably blocks his access to Being - and could be put in contact wiht the Great Life and so achieve that state of mind which is the pre-requisite of Self-realization. The book, often in accord with the most recent trends in religion, philosophy and psycho-therapy, contains several illustrations and three outstanding texts by Japanese masters on Hara.
