The Asian religious sensibility and Christian (Carmelite) spirituality / St. Teresa Joseph Patrick of and Mary OCD (Josefina D. Constantino). - Quezon City : University of the Philippines Press, c2010- - 2 v. : ill. 23 cm.
v. 1. -- v. 2. --
a copy of this report is also included. A fascinating mosaic of varied forms of exposition, the book can be read in any part actually it can be called a collection of nine paperbacks. Each chapter is a small book in itself. While every book is the only one of its kind, we must say The Asian Religious Sensibility and Christian(Carmelite) Spirituality is a most unique attempt to articulate the felt psychological and spiritual needs and aspirations of Asians during this rapid cultural transition we are going through. Written in alternatingly vigorous, charming, profound, and even poetic prose, the writer explores, gropingly and tentatively, the Asian subconscious in the light of Buddhist, Hindu, Taoist, and Moslem cultures. In varied ways, suitable to the literary forms she uses, the book renders itself invaluable for providing, not only sharp, original, and perceptive insights, but also possible models for dialogues and exchanges. Many participants of the Fourth Asean Congress of Religious held in Bangkok in October of 1981 perused the book and expressed the opinion that the book would be of great value to the Religious of Asia regardless as to what congregation they might belong since it contains many basic principles which are common to the whole of Asia. Written by a Carmelite Filipino contemplative nun who was given a MISSIO grant for this study in 1976, the new edition includes a report based on a special permission granted her to visit and stay a month each in a Carmelite monastery in India, Thailand, and Indonesia. In the providence of God, she was able to have a three day stay in Canton, China, as just one more aspect of reality in today's Asia
