An innovative look at the interplay between the mystical traditions of Sufism and Hasidism from a leading practitioner-scholar.
In The Merging of Two Oceans, Pir Netanel Miles-Yépez follows his In the Teahouse of Experience with a new collection of talks, laying the foundations for understanding the historical and spiritual connections between Sufism and Hasidism, two of the world's great mystical traditions. Through a masterful weave of storytelling and scholarship, Miles-Yépez explores a series of significant 'meetings' between these two traditions in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, details his own role in the formation of a new Sufi lineage connected with Hasidism, and offers a veritable bouquet of potent teachings drawing on the wisdom of both traditions. The Merging of Two Oceans is a boundary-pushing book that will fascinate and inspire admirers of these mystical traditions and their teachings, as well as spiritual seekers from all religious backgrounds.
