Although known as a concrete poet, critic, translator, and artist in the art and poetry worlds, Houedard was also well versed in religious thoughts and traditions. Educated in the Christian monastic and contemplative traditions, Dom Sylvester had a deep knowledge of many forms of belief, which he saw as different expressions of a single wisdom. A pioneer of the wider ecumenism, he had active contacts with Tibetan Buddhism and the work of the great Islamic mystic Muhyddin Ibn' Arabi. In these talks given near the end of his life, Dom Sylvester illuminates the meanings embedded in six of Eckhart's greatest sermons. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
