For Love of the Real: A Story of Life’s Mystical Secret

"Sufi scholars and practitioners I've met have often impressed me not only with their interest in knowing what is the self and the nature of reality, questions we Buddhists also struggle with, but also with their enthusiasm to understand how other traditions answer them. An exponent of the Naqshbandiyya-Mujaddidiyya Sufi Order, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee's explanation in For Love of the Real of how to turn away from self-centeredness in the face of reality will appeal to readers who seek to lead a meaningful life."

"A penetrating, heartfelt look into Absolute Reality..."

"Just what we need within the context of our ordinary lives in this modern day and age."

"... its message speaks to people from many different traditions and backgrounds who aspire to lead lives of greater meaning, fulfillment, and depth. [The] emphasis on such topics as emptiness and manifestation, the inseparability of relative and ultimate reality, our utter interconnectedness, and the transformative power of love, and his call to service, echo teachings dear to my own tradition of vajrayana Buddhism. Like Llewellyn, I believe that a shift of consciousness is possible, and in fact essential, if we are to regain what we have lost and heal our connection with the sacred, with mother earth, and with our fellow beings."
