Synopsis:
A unique work of radical philosophical thought from a leading Western Buddhist teacher.

"Unlike many books that explore the meaning of spiritual practice, Gesture of Awareness is not an account or explanation of such practices but an expression of them. In succinct, poetic style, Genoud offers a vision of human experience as it can be lived and embodied, once we take the risk to discard those concepts and assumptions that stand in the way of an immediate encounter with the present…Drawing on Buddhist texts, shamanism, and the writings of thinkers such as Maurice Blanchot and Georges Bataille, Gesture of Awareness weaves insights from these diverse traditions into a coherent and compelling whole. At the same time, the text is a workbook that encourages the reader to engage with the material in a way that can make a real difference in his or her life. It is the kind of book that cannot be absorbed in a single reading and then shelved, but one that calls us to pay attention to this message again and again." Stephen Btachelor.

"A remarkable book. The elegant and incisive writing illuminates some of the deepest questions of the spiritual path: I and the other, oneness and duality, and what indeed lies beyond all concepts. These words are meant to awaken, not merely to inform, and they succeed admirably in their intention. The beautiful, haiku-like teachings stretch our minds and open many levels of understanding." Joseph Goldstein.

"A groundbreaking work that explores the nature of doing and being. This book is not about anything; it is the real thing itself." Lama Surya Das.
