Eckhart Tolle's Background and Awakening
Eckhart Tolle, a spiritual teacher, was born in Germany and had a challenging childhood. He experienced a deep depression that left him homeless and desperate. At the age of 29, while sitting on a park bench, he had a profound awakening. Since then, for 45 years, he has been practicing and teaching from that understanding. Tolle's background demonstrates that spiritual wisdom can be found in unexpected places.
