When Oceans Merge:  The Contemporary Sufi and Hasidic Teachings of Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan and Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi

by Gregory Blann 

Monkfish Book Publishing Co., Rhinebeck, New York, 2019       332 pages


This book brings together the perspectives of two contemporary, universalist spiritual teachers and friends, Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan and Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, and explores the deep commonalities between the mystical paths of Sufism and Hasidic Judaism, which are their respective traditions. They were both progressive thinkers and creative trailblazers within their own traditions, fearlessly exploring the cutting edge of spirituality, redefining and renewing our concepts of the Divine, stressing direct experience and realization, and always striving to uplift the hearts and souls of those around them.  (p. xxxv)
