In the Teahouse of Experience

" The one who tastes, knows; the one who tastes not, knows not. . . . Close the shop of argument and open the teahouse of experience."

With these words, the reader is invited into the Sufi "tea-house of experience" where Sufi teacher Pir Netanel Miles-Yépez offers us an elegant and accessible tour of Sufi teachings and practices for all tastes. Full of parables and practical examples, Pir Netanel tells the "Story of Sufism" and introduces us to the "Sufi Paths of Love" and the "Sufi Path of Knowledge," as well as Sufi meditation practices and the inner life of Sufism (and the struggles we sometimes encounter there). Whether reading about Sufism for the first time, or an experienced practitioner, you will find something "In the Teahouse" to inform, surprise, and delight you.
