The book is Kerouac's sutra on Buddhist philosophy, in which he describes a \"Golden Eternity\" that is paradoxically everything and nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 66 prose poems or \"meditations\" deal mainly with the nature of consciousness and the impermanence of existence. The main influence is Buddhism, but the use of the word \"scripture\" in the title alludes to Kerouac's Catholic upbringing and influences, evident in this work and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.06 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 11, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51774160404768,"sku":"9781684222865","price":8.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/939b05466f650cdf482fec2fc43baad0.webp?v=1780442230","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-scripture-of-the-golden-eternity-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
