Description
Book SynopsisForeword by Maryam MafiThe 60-short tales in THE LITTLE BOOK OF SUFI STORIES reflect a variety of principles, values and ideas that are held by the Sufi mystical tradition. Like a Zen koan, a Sufi story allows wisdom to arise from within.The stories in this book are drawn from the dozens that the author has enjoyed telling in his seminars over the past 20 years. Most of them appear in works of the classical Sufis, like Rumi, Attar or S''adi. To preserve some of the personal feeling and bring the language up to date, he has given them his own improvised turns. In doing so, the author achieves an energy that awakens a spark in the soul.Included in this collection are stories about Jesus, Satan, Jonah and Mullah Nasredden.
