Description
Gentle, elegant, and radically inspiring, Selfless Love transcends the usual boundaries of religious traditions, as well as our preconceived notions of identity, spirituality, and humanity. Drawing from Zen parables, contemporary cognitive science, and the Christian Gospels, Ellen Birx shows us that through meditation we can recognize that our truest selves are not what we imagine—that all beings are united in unbounded, infinite awareness and love, beyond words.
Recognizing the limitations of language in describing the indescrible, Birx concludes each chapter in the Zen tradition of “turning words” with a verse meant to invite insights into the ineffable.
Advance Praise
“Love is the common element that all of humanity strives for. Ellen’s exposition of selfless love shows how we can attain it. A wonderful book. I heartily recommend it.”
—Bernie Glassman, author of The Dude and the Zen Master
“Dr. Birx has closed the gap completely and leaves no separation at all between life and death, heaven and earth, and God and the world. Read this book!”
—Roshi Robert Kennedy, SJ, author of Zen Gifts to Christians
