The Way of Man: According to Hasidic Teaching- Martin Buber was one of the most significant religious thinkers of the twentieth century. In this short and remarkable book, he presents the essential teachings of Hasidism, the mystical Jewish movement which swept through Eastern Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Told through legendary tales of the Hasidic masters, together with Buber's own unique insights, The Way of Man offers us a way of understanding ourselves and our place in a spiritual world. "There is something," he suggests, "that can only be found in one place. It is a great treasure, which may be called the fulfillment of existence. The place where this treasure can be found is the place on which one stands." Challenging us to recognize our own potential and to reach our true goal, The Way of Man is a life-enhancing book. Martin Buber's 10 Rungs: Collected Hasidic Sayings- The sacred tales and aphorisms collected here by Martin Buber have their origins in the traditional Hasidic metaphor of life as a ladder, reaching towards the divine by ascending rungs of perfection. Through Biblical riddles and interpretations, Jewish proverbs and spiritual meditations, they seek to awaken in the reader a full awareness of the urgency of the human condition, and of the great need for self-recognition and spiritual renewal.
