In March 1961, Professor Richard Alpert – later renamed Ram Dass – held appointments in four departments at Harvard University. He published books, drove a Mercedes and regularly vacationed in the Caribbean. By most societal standards, he had achieved great success... And yet he couldn’t escape the feeling that something was missing.
Psilocybin and LSD changed that. During a period of experimentation, Alpert peeled away each layer of his identity, disassociating from himself as a professor, a social cosmopolite, and lastly, as a physical being. Fear turned into exaltation upon the realization that at his truest, he was just his inner-self: a luminous being that he could trust indefinitely and love infinitely.
And thus, a spiritual journey commenced. Alpert headed to India where his guru renamed him Baba Ram Dass – “servant of God.” He was introduced to mindful breathing exercises, hatha yoga, and Eastern philosophy. If he found himself reminiscing or planning, he was reminded to “Be Here Now.” He started upon the path of enlightenment, and has been journeying along it ever since.
Be Here Now is a vehicle for sharing the true message, and a guide to self-determination.
With over 150 pages of metaphysical illustrations, practical advice on how to implement a yogic regiment, and a chapter dedicated to quotes and book recommendations, Be Here Now is sure to enrich your emotional, physical, and spiritual life.

Everything
評分其實講述的道理和金剛經、心經並無二異。不過從不同角度講述這些道理,有耶穌、有老子、有菩提。第一部分是作者靈修的經曆;第二部分是道理、原理,很多插圖,美極瞭。第三部分是實踐、練習的方法,如何睡覺、飲食、學習等。 書總體不錯,不過重要的還是實踐。
評分crazy
評分找到這本書,大概就是Ram Dass 所講的一個緣分。書中提到很多日常修行的參考指標,大部分很有啟發性,特別是我最愛的老莊;但有一些還是不能認同。人各有異吧,能不能到達某個高度,也是一種緣。靈性增長是沒有公式的,能不能有造化,當中也有外在因素,這就是Ram Dass開篇先交代自己背景的原因吧。
評分It opened up a doorway to my spiritual world.
