The Tree of Life: The Palace of Adam Kadmon - English Edition, Paperback/Chayyim Vital

Descriere

The Tree of Life is a collection of writings by Chayyim Vital. In these writings, Vital describes the teachings of his master, Isaac Luria, who is one of the most important figures within modern Kabbalah. Much of the Kabbalah today is based on the teachings of Luria. However, Luria wrote very little during his life. Consequently, Vital is considered to be the primary source and chief interpreter of the teachings of Luria. The Tree of Life is considered to be the most authoritative version of Luria's teachings. The Palace of Adam Kadmon is the first volume of the Tree of Life. In it, Vital describes the creation of the universe. Vital first describes the creation in general and then proceeds to describe it in great detail. The Palace of Adam Kadmon provides a basis for understanding the entire Lurianic system. This new translation of the Palace of Adam Kadmon provides new insights into the Kabbalah that have never before been published.
