This book is a reflective, philosophically rich exploration of awakening as a lived, perceptual, and imaginative process, framed through the Buddhist teaching of the five spiritual faculties: faith, vigour, mindfulness, concentration, and wisdom. These are presented as an interpenetrating mandala that shapes how we perceive, interpret, and inhabit the world.
Drawing on early Buddhist texts, Mahayana sources, phenomenology, poetry, myth, and autobiography, awakening is evoked as a religious and imaginative opening to depth, value, and transcendence, one that restores a sense of wonder to ordinary experience.
