The Scripture of the Golden Eternity

Written in response to Gary Snyder's suggestion to write his first sutra, 'The Scripture of the Golden Eternity' is a spiritual work that delves into the nature of consciousness and the impermanence of existence.

The book is heavily influenced by Buddhist teachings, particularly the concept of emptiness and the Diamond Sutra, while also reflecting Kerouac's Catholic upbringing.

It presents a vision of a unitary, timeless world and the individual's place within it, often using paradoxical and mystical language to convey these ideas.
