The Bowl of Saki Life of Samuel L. Lewis

Hazrat Inayat Khan composed the 366 aphorisms for each day of the year, and they were compiled as The Bowl of Saki. Samuel L. Lewis commented on each aphorism, and his commentaries were published. Mansur Johnson, the author of Murshid: A personal memoir of life with American Sufi Samuel L. Lewis, provided additional commentary on The Bowl of Saki aphorisms and called it The Bowl of Saki Life of Samuel L. Lewis, the purpose being to provide additional details about Samuel Lewis not provided in the memoir.Murshid's 29 Last Letters to Mansur and Seo San's Text for Zen Buddhism make up the rest of the book. Sam Lewis and Mansur Johnson edited the Text for Zen Buddhism. Dr. Kyung-Bo Seo translated the Text for Zen Buddhism. Murshid's 29 Last Letters to Mansur are annotated with supporting comments by Sufi Pir Shabda Kahn, who was with Murshid Sam when he wrote many of the letters from New York City.
