Beyond the Place of Laughter and Tears in the Land of Devotion Book

$15.00

Beyond the Place of Laughter and Tears in the Land of Devotion is a compilation of David's poetry, essays, aphorisms and discourses. It is also a confession of his ecstatic spiritual realization and a potent vehicle of his living transmission.

In the Introduction to David's book, the Reverend Thomas Ahlburn writes: ". . . I think David's views are as brilliantly insightful as any that one is likely to encounter among living spiritual writers, including those of Ram Dass, Andrew Harvey, Ken Wilber, Bernadette Roberts, and the great spiritual genius Adi Da Samraj."

David's book will be sent to you in sincere appreciation for your donation in support of his teaching.

How Did You Meet David?:

My best friend Jim told me about David around January 2008. My response to Jim at the time was that I was not interested in any more teachers/gurus in my life. Jim urged me to watch a few of David's videos on youtube and my initial feeling was ok.

Then in February, Jim invited me to go on the internet meditation and dialogue program and that was the turning point. At the end of the program, I was swimming in shakti and drowned in bliss, that persisted for over a month. How transmission
happened through the internet over such a great distance remains a mystery to me.
I told a few friends about this and they all looked at me as if I was from outer space (not that I don't normally look weird!). From that point onward, I have not missed a single meditation program. Oh, I forgot to mention that I live in Hong Kong and I'm viewing the programs from here.

How has meeting David, attending his events or coming into contact with his teachings, impacted your life?:

Well, up till now, almost one year later, I have never met David in person. We corresponded with each other through emails and I have lamented over my inability to see him in person and envied all those who could come to the program and know David in person. His response to me was that there is no distance between us and he was right. I get blissfully intoxicated by reading his book, looking at his picture, watching his videos, going on his internet programs and even visualizing him in my mind.

The transmission is ongoing transcending time and space. He is the most accessible teacher that one can have.

David has freed me from being a guru worshiper/slave and lovingly embraced me into that space of stillness. I am getting glimpses of that sweetness from the cave of the heart. I am really grateful for the teaching and to those who kindly make this website available to those such as myself who live a distance away to be able to receive such grace and blessings. Thank you so much and bless you all!
