Overview
Following the success of the publication of ""The Supreme Doctrine"" in 1998, Sussex Academic is proud to announce a completely new and updated translation by Graham Rooth, MD, MRCPsych, of this seminal work. This Centenary Commemorative Edition also includes two lesser known works - 'Buddha and the Intuition of the Universal' and 'Techniques of Timeless Realization'. The volume is complemented by a detailed Glossary, an Index, an Original Foreword by Aldous Huxley (1955), an Original Preface by Swami Siddheswarananda (1955), and a Contemporary Foreword by Professor Asanga Tilakaratne, Director Postgraduate Studies at the Institute of Pali and Buddhist. Benoit's writings on the human predicament were influenced by his studies in Zen Buddhism and psychoanalysis. Both books foreshadow contemporary transpersonal and integral psychology: through the re-integration of psychology and metaphysics, Benoit invites us to make our own journey toward spiritual transformation and the intuitive understanding of universal truths.

Reviews
...an excellent insight into Benoit's work on the human being and the nature of our suffering. -- The Middle Way, May 2005. This is a book that should be read by everyone who aspires to know who he is and what he can do to acquire such self-knowledge... -- From the Foreword to the first English edition by Aldous Huxley. There were giants in the earth in those days. This line from Genesis comes to mind as I look again, after a gap of some years, at the writings of Hubert Benoit. Like Karlfried Graf von Durckheim (author of Daily Life as Spiritual Exercise), who was of virtually the same generation, Benoit brought a formidable mind and a seeker's firm dedication to the exploration of Zen. They were deciphering then what remains for us to continue deciphering: teachings Asian in origin but native to our minds and hearts. -- Roger Lipsey, author of The Spiritual in Twentieth-Century Art.
