Put out your fire and your light will shine
Arie Vuyk
Publisher: Van Warven
'Extinguish Your Fire, Then Your Light Will Shine' is a kind of first aid for Buddhist meditation. As the popularity of Buddhist meditation increases, so do the misunderstandings surrounding the subject. These are both historical and practical misunderstandings. Based on his practice as a meditation coach, the author has listed the most common ambiguities and prejudices, and he places concepts such as letting go, enlightenment and silence in a usable framework for the meditator. Anyone who wants to start Buddhist meditation would do well to read this book first. 'Extinguish Your Fire, Then Your Light Will Shine' can also be read as a passionate pamphlet against an overly simplistic view of spirituality in general and meditation in particular.
Arie Vuyk
Since I read the TAO TE KING at the age of fourteen, I have been fascinated by the philosophy of the Orient. I had to break away from Calvinism, which is why I only became a Theravada Buddhist in 2017. A few hours after my refuge, I was in a theater playing my cabaret program. One cannot exist without the other. The silence of the dhamma attracts me more and more, as society makes increasingly uncompromising demands on its members.
