Synopsis:

In The Merging of Two Oceans, Pir Netanel Miles-Yépez follows his In the Teahouse of Experience with a new collection of talks, laying the foundations for understanding the historical and spiritual connections between Sufism and Hasidism, two of the world's great mystical traditions. He explores the many 'meetings' between these two traditions in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, details his own role in the formation of a new Sufi lineage connected with Hasidism, and gives a series of teachings drawing on both traditions. The Merging of Two Oceans is a book that will fascinate admirers of these traditions and their teachings.
