Description: Granada Publishing Ltd./Panther Books Ltd. St. Albans, Hertfordshire, 1974. First Paperback Edition, Paperback. Near Fine Condition. 9780586039281 The Magic Monastery is a collection of teaching stories from the Sufi mystical tradition, by the writer Idries Shah, together with some stories by the author himself. Writer, novelist and philosopher Colin Wilson in his review of The Magic Monastery noted that Shah ‘is not primarily concerned with propagating some secret doctrine. He is concerned with the method by which mystical knowledge is transmitted... The Sufis transmit knowledge through direct intuition rather in the manner of the Zen masters, and one of the chief means of doing this is by means of brief stories and parables which work their way into the subconscious and activate its hidden forces.’ As with all of his works, The Magic Monastery is rich in thought-provoking material, and can be read and enjoyed at many levels. 2-pages of publisher's titles to rear.
