Praying without God
The Search for a Spiritual Path
Can a non-believer be a spiritual person? Is it still possible to pray in the so-called post-Christian era? Is the conventional formula of "praying means speaking to God" still valid in an age when God seems to be silent? Doesn't that also mean that human beings must be silent? And what about Buddhists, who are often told that they cannot pray because they do not believe in God? And what if they pray anyway? In this book, the Jesuit and Zen master Niklaus Brantschen attempts to question the conventional ways of thinking and behaviour patterns, rites and rituals, forms and formulas. Western mystics like Meister Eckhart have their say, as does the Buddha. And this reveals a realisation that is possible for all people: Mysticism is humanly feasible.
