Couverture du Sangharakshita: Metaphors Magic and Mystery (ePUB)

The theme of this anthology is words, especially words in the context of the Dharma. Words have such power and magic, and yet they also present so many limitations and pitfalls. There are questions of how to use them skilfully and accurately, and the dangers of taking things too literally or misunderstanding metaphors. Indeed, there’s the difference between understanding words and really knowing anything at all. There’s the relationship between words and the truth, and the role poetry plays in connecting them.
