A Personal Journey in to Sufism, Buddhism, and Judaism

Here is an insider's look at a spectrum of mystical tradition--by someone who is remarkably fluent in the language of each. Three Gates to Meditation Practice chornicles more than fifteen years int he spiritual journey of "post-denominational rabbi" David A. Cooper and his wife, Shoshana--years that led the Coopers everywhere from a secluded mountain hut in New Mexico to the Sinai desert, from chanting Sufi dhikr and meditating with Buddhist master to studying Kabbalah and esoteric Judaism in the Old City of Jerusalem.

The Coopers' story is an intimate account of what intensive spiritual practice is like, with an ultimate message that is supremely inspiring: The spiritual path is completely within our reach, whoever, we are, whatever we do, as long as we are willing to try.
