Description
The Feathered Sun is a tribute to the Indians. It is a collection of texts offering insights into the most interesting aspects of the traditions of the Plains Indians, complemented by the author's paintings and travel notes from Indian reservations in 1952 and 1963. However, Schuon's essays are by no means mere descriptions of rituals; that would not be Schuon. His penetrating intellect embarks on journeys that transcend and connect continents and religions – by comparing Indian traditions with Hinduism, Shintoism, Islam, Buddhism, and, last but not least, Christianity, he arrives at surprising conclusions. Yet he does not skim the surface; his theses are not cheap; on the contrary: his writing is filled with humility and a deep understanding of the most fundamental divine principle. The reader will soon realize that Schuon was not just a comparative religionist but a mystic in the true sense of the word.
