In this book, people from different walks of life describe how their lives have been changed by their religious practice. These moving vignettes illustrate vividly two truths: that the most intimate and personal experience can also be the most universal, and that a strong spiritual practice is the necessary base for activism. This book will inspire and delight its readers. This captivating anthology features fifty authors, among them, leading teachers, writers, and practitioners of the major spiritual traditions rooted in Asia, who share their favorite teaching stories and poems, along with the wisdom they gained from them. This combination of ancient text and contemporary memoir brings together simple "turning words" and the sustaining, practical insights they inspire.

A history that is equal parts science and mythology, Sacred Sites offers a rare and poetic vision of a world composed of dynamic natural forces and mythic characters. The result is a singular and memorable account of the evolution of the Southern California landscape, reflecting the riches of both Native knowledge and Western scientific thought. Beginning with Western science, poet Susan Suntree carries readers from the Big Bang to the present as she describes the origins of the universe, the shifting of tectonic plates, and an evolving array of plants and animals that give Southern California its unique features today. She tells of the migration of humans into the region, where they settled, and how they lived. Complementing this narrative and reflecting Native peoples’ view of their own history and way of life, Suntree recounts the creation myths and songs that tell the story of the First People and of unforgettable shamans and heroes. Featuring contemporary photographs of rarely seen landmarks along with meticulous research, Sacred Sites provides unusual insight into how natural history and mythology and scientific and intuitive thinking combine to create an ever-deepening sense of a place and its people.
